As a band teacher, I'm really biased towards "classical" genre pieces. Here are some of my favorites that are certainly epic enough for any launch! Resplendent Glory--Rossano Galante https://youtu.be/1OUL_NEQA9s Ride--Samuel Hazo Abram's Pursuit--David Holsinger 12 Seconds to the Moon (Mun?)--Robert W. Smith Sleep--Eric Whitacre (awesome for when you're actually in space!) Some might be turned off by the fact that its instrumental music, but trust me--all of these are worth a listen. Enjoy!

Part 2, because I left off some really sweet pieces. Ride by Samuel Hazo (for a more jazzy rocket engineer)Vesuvius - Frank Ticheli Vesuvius by Frank Ticheli Inferno from The Divine Comedy by Robert W. Smith Gandalf from Sinfonia No. 1: The Lord of the Rings by Johan de Meij (written in 1988)Check out my first post for other great classical pieces! 8)

As a musician and music teacher/band director, allow me to make the following recommendations: - Short Ride in a Fast Machine by John Adams - Twelve Seconds to the Moon by Robert W. Smith (not the best recording, but the only professional one on youtube is in 2 parts)For a more hopeful pilot, Dance of the Tumblers by Nikolai Rimsky-KorsakovFor those big, lumbering rockets that take off slow and eventually get too fast to handle, there\'s Russian Sailor\'s Dance by Reinhold Gliere12 Comedian\'s Gallop from The Comedians by Kabalevsky Gallop from The Comedians Dmitry Kabalevsky Then you have perennial favorites like Rossini\'s William Tell Overture, Rimsky-Korsakov\'s Flight of the Bumblebee (for those short flights), and Saber Dance by Aram Khachaturian. For any other classical-esque recommendations, feel free to ask 8)

I feel dumb for having to ask for help on this since I haven\'t been having too many issues until now, but its getting really annoying and I don\'t know how to fix it. Any time I tack some SRBs on the outside of my center-line fuel tank and have those lift-off first, my rockets will begin to spin (and usually pitch to the left or right). Even using SAS, ASAS, and RCS, I can\'t stabilize anything that might have a chance of going to the moon. I\'m not over-balancing anything or making anything too extreme. Any suggestions?

Hit my 1st orbit today. It was terribly wonky, going between 250km and 80km Circles may be fun, but ellipses are totally where it's at!

A little trick with the SAS modules is that, should you notice the corrections starting to amplify undesired behavior: Wait until the rocket hits a point where it would begin to change direction, then quickly disengage and re-engage the modules. It should (assuming the rocket is simply spinning around its vertical axis) stabilize the rotations. I often seem to build rockets that start spinning like a bullet coming off the launchpad, and I've found this works pretty well
