If your space program was a song, what would it be?

I like to draw your attention to one single beautiful composition with accidental very applicable Kerbal lyrics (Originally from the movie "The Snowman, 1982") . From a musicians standpoint (I play classical piano and guitar), this is one of the best arrangements in music I've heard yet. Just marvelous!

If any of you play the guitar and are interested, I am happy to share how to do it. Here is the basic in TABS. (so simple, but yet so elegant): (I like the piano, I love the guitar)

Tuning: Standard

This is more or less a cross post, but never intended to be. You just happened to post your question while I was answering another thread at the very same time :)

Wow, that's a really beautiful song. /tearyeyed

THIS:

Or this beautiful and epic song.

M83- Outro

Unlike other Space programs.... I'm SERIOUS

EDIT: Plus M83 - Outro says "I'm the king of my own land" which relates to how It is my space program. and It says "Creatures of my dreams raise up and dance with me" Which relates to kerbals.
