Who knew NASA had solid musical tastes? These are all the songs played to the crew of Artemis II for their wake-up call.

• NASA revealed its playlist of wake-up songs for the Artemis II crew
• It features Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club and a cover of Passion Pit’s Sleepyhead.
• This tradition dates back to the time of the Apollo missions

Beyond being a resounding mid-mission success, NASA’s Artemis II project is one of the most important historic events of our time, but despite their journeys into deep space, its astronauts did not miss the simple things we love about life on Earth.

From its menu of much-loved treats to using the iPhone 17 Pro Max to take photos of our planet from afar, these elements make life on the Orion spacecraft much more manageable – and the same goes for its choice of music. You heard correctly. In space, pop music still exists.
