Ok, this is one of the cooler things I've seen in a while.
NASA, if you've paid any attention, is ending the shuttle program! That's not the cool thing.
The cool thing is that they have always played wakeup songs for the astronauts on the shuttle.
To end the program with the LAST shuttle launch, they are taking their "Top 40" and putting up for a vote here:Â https://songcontest.nasa.gov/top40.aspx
Take a look at that list, NASA has some good taste in music. Apparently, RUSH fans are NASA fans as they have "Countdown" by Rush in second as I post this. Trekkies have taken the top spot with the Star Trek theme.
Cool no?
What are you doing to engage your fans? Nothing like friendly competition and music to involve them!
