I've gotta +1 Vostok here, with Also Sprach Zarathustra :)

But I'll add some others to the list:

-

, the music you hear when you first see he Odyssey spacecraft on his way to Jupiter, in 2001. This suits the cold and emptiness and space soooooo well, incredible.

-James Horner's "All Systems Go" piece, from the Apollo 13 soundtrack. To me, this simply is the soundtrack to the whole Apollo program.

-Last but not least,

, because it's a great music and a great documentary!

Word.

Ride of the Valkyries would work too.

Haha, nice, I was about to post the same suggestion. Best song of all time, ever since I played BF: Vietnam. :)

I think I might get some flaming for this...

But I think a lot of the minecraft music would fit perfectly once you are out in orbit.

Flame, flame, flamer, flame, flaaaaame!

Its gotta be classical music throughout the flight. Start with something energetic for the launch, then have a couple good waltzes whilst performing your orbital maneuvres, and very calm music whilst "idle". Holst's "Planets" Suite is, of course, a must. Lyrical music just doesnt work IMO.

CBL- abiogenesis (Listen for the Drake Equation)

Frank Sinatra - Fly Me To The Moon

Frank Sinatra is great and all but I prefer Julie London's rendition better.

Well, I can't compare her to the greats, but I think I'll always have a soft spot for Hikaru Utada singing that song. Nostalgic reasons, y'know.

Anyway, I don't have a launch music, but I certainly have a LANDING music. And those who have seen Tom Hanks' From the Earth to the Moon already know what that is.
