KSP Situational Playlists.

[Elven_sword]

Here's a couple of sets of fitting music to listen to while you play KSP. Each list will pertain to a specific activity such as launching, landing, orbital operations, and the like. All of these songs are available on Spotify, but I will also include YouTube links for the peasants who don't have spotify. Suggestions are welcome, none of these are complete yet. Ready? Here we go!
