Vertigo in Space




NASA STS-114 Mission Status Report #06 - 28 July 2005 - 11 pm CDT | SpaceRef - Your Space Reference:

"The first full day of joint Space Shuttle and International Space Station operations will be highlighted by installation of a cargo transportation module, additional orbiter heat shield inspections and spacewalk preparations.

Discovery's crew was awakened at 10:39 p.m. CDT by the song 'Vertigo' by U2 played for Pilot Jim Kelly. Capcom Shannon Lucid noted during the wakeup call that Kelly, whose nickname is 'Vegas,' was promoted to Colonel in the U.S. Air Force recently. The Station crew was awakened at 11:09 p.m. CDT by a tone onboard."

Vertigo vs. "tone"....Oh to be on the Shuttle! According to @U2, they also have the Rattle & Hum DVD on board. U2 has lots of great "space" songs, "Slug" would be other-worldly up there.
