Music to listen to when launching rockets

[syfyguy64]

Remember Star Trek First Contact?

The scene where they launched the first warp ship?

Well, found the original song, and I kinda like it.

I used to play it every time I launched a large rocket, and make it into space just as the song ends.

I find this better for flying planes or doing random, silly stuff in space, but still fine for rocket launching.

"Rocket Man" and "Major Tom" are obvious choices. There is a related thread over in the Space Lounge, for general listening, not necessarily during launch or flight in KSP. A variety of stuff there:

Perhaps I'm an oddity in that I perfer listening to Drum n Bass, specifically anything on the Liquicity channel while playing.

14 pages, and no one mentioned this? I'm shocked

"Airlock" and "Aningaaq" from the soundtrack to "Gravity" are wonderful when things go well, then "Debris," and "Don't let go" for any tense moments or catastrophes.

It's usually this for my beauties. Apologies in advance to classical music listeners.

Lustmord can't be beat for that cold space feel.

[llamatoes]

I quite like( for in space) songs like planet caravan, as it is quite etehral and psycadelic, tom Leher, when building, as I quite like him.

Other than that, the odd bit of classic rock, and jazz.

[Sylith]

I love to launch my rockets with

Yello - Oh yeah

Also good music for KSP is the Homeworld game soundtrack.

I like this one for drifting through space:

Homeworld - The Kharak system

Have fun,

Sylith

YES. I have that song on my KSP playlist... Ugh, so much soul...

I keep mostly songs that have been in major/notable KSP videos/cinematics, and/or remind me of space, plus a few other good classics...

- (Basically just because it defined Rock, and it's on Voyager I. Plus it's a great song.)

M83 - Outro - We all know what this is from... <3

M83 - We Own The Sky - M83 basically /is/ space...

- The song that basically won't quit.

- If I'm doing any kind of plane mission, I play this.

- An alternate song for plane flying.

- One of my favorite songs of all time. Very good docking music.

- Also a good docking song, has some very relaxing bits in it.

CHRONOS - Sky Path - The main part of this song is great for general spacey stuff.

- One of the most beautiful songs produced in modern time, great for landings or launches. Don't get chills, I dare you.

- Another beautiful song I found from

- Love love love this song.

Those are some of my favorites...

Personally I listen to:

"Countdown" (Rush)

"Rocket Man" (Elton John)

A ton of Touhou music

A ton of Kevin MacLeod music

A couple of Abney Park songs

Between 0:00, 0:49 the astronauts are boarding the rocket.

0:50, engines ignite.

[T3chnic]

Some chillout, psy, space music.

For any large rocket launch it has to be: Gustav Holst - The Planets - Mars, the Bringer of War

Especially the part at 4:24
