One of the better accompaniments for the NASA Edge live Webcast, June 5, 2012, between science segments!

With the increasing life expectancy on earth and the help of technology I think it'll be possible for people who are even perhaps in their 20s now to live to see the day.

Sousaphones are the tubas in a parade...they're more for marching, which is why Sousa invented them. Tubas provide the same sound in a sit-down orchestra

Thank you. I played your video while watching the Transit of Venus on the NASA website.  You helped make a memorable day.

[Stephen Sprunk]

I see no sousaphones, just regular tubas.

[Greg Ninke]

Very good performance

[William Richards]

105 years from now? Maybe if you're really young now and live to be really old then. Otherwise it's not happening.

[Linda Pruitt]

They sound very authentic, and have real Sousaphones !

Not if you live until 2117!
