Good songs to drift in space to

[Justinjah91]

Seriously? No one has mentioned Fly Me to the Moon? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtFBRJFN3p8

[M83]

Anything by M83.

I can't argue with that, obviously.

Also, Deep Space by Sub Focus is a good song for the half of space that is terrifying and deadly.

[LaydeeDem]

While not exactly a song, I find the sound of Saturn's magnetic field soothing.

[NeMeSiS]

God is an Astronaut does it for me.

[Wjolcz]

Well, I would put some Slayer, Metallica, Black Sabbath and BLS yt links because it's the things I listen to when flying my rockets, but I don't think this is the kind of music people prefer here...

Ahemm. Pretty much entire Homeworld soundtrack is ideal for a space game. The countless minutes where i just sat and watched my Resource Collectors strip-mine the map of every speck of dust, with this music playing in the background. Good times

+1

I wish I could find a suitable moment for "

" in KSP. But without battles and ion beams and warping...

Freespace's OST is also okay for space, but a bit too dark overall.

Maybe Freelancer's OST could fit KSP a bit better.

Smetana's "

" is also great.

Majestic Rockets lift off to

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Spiritualized, especially given they have a song called "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space" and they're often classified as "space-rock".

A little bit of John Adams, for those exciting burns...

A good long album of a local post-rock band. Yeah, they're local. Deal wid it!

EDIT: double-post, sorry!

Oh definitely this one:

Raumschiff Orion! Wie geil ist das denn? My dad introduced me to it when I was a child. Awesome series!

I personally enjoy the "Sunshine" soundtrack. Best tracks:

Adagio in D Minor

Capa suits up

Mercury

Oh yeah. Sunshine is totally awesome.

Normally I listen to a mix ambient tracks, some Game soundtracks (like Endless Space which was already posted here) or Movie soundtracks.

Also great is Adagio for Strings... doesn't even matter what version I do like the version from Homeworld though

[Xorth Tanovar]

Good source for ambient space music: http://bluemars.org/

Also the re-imagining of the "Silent Running" soundtrack by 65 Days of Static:

[Pugspaceprogram]

I found this a while ago, it's quite nice.

[Necandi Brasil]

No songs from Titan A.E.???

Here's one that marked my life! The original scene is called Wake angels

[hieywiey]

The Planets by Gustav Holst, especially Mars:http://youtu.be/L0bcRCCg01I

[Logan.Darklighter]

Good Launch music.

Jurrasic Park theme - Welcome To Jurrasic Park

Amazing for a moon mission. Who would have thought?

[Aghanim]

Bach Air on G string

Blame the Orbiter 2010 OrbiterSound addon for that, playing it each time I use the space shuttle external view

God is an Astronaut does it for me.

If only I could give you plus rep for this...

Oh, and while I'm here:
