Where My Heart Will Take Me

Wake-up calls are a long-standing tradition of the NASA program. Each day during the mission, flight controllers in the Mission Control Center will greet the crew with an appropriate musical interlude.

STS-118 crew wake-up call, Flight Day 2: 'Where My Heart Will Take Me' by Russell Watson played for Mission Specialist Richard Mastracchio.

"Music is a great help because it sort of grounds you, and it gives you memories. I can only imagine what it's like to be up there looking back on Earth. I can imagine for the space crew when you're out there for such a long time and missing home that it would be very good to get a reminder that will take you back." ~ Paul McCartney

Science fiction meets reality. It thrills me too! Thanks for your comment, and keep watching. So much more to come. ~ Reel NASA

I know that it's the theme song to Enterprise; I was saying that I second the idea that they should use the theme song from DS9 in the future.

I love that you chose a Star Trek theme song for the mission. And I second that the theme song for DS9 would be great.

@nittany272 I second that....

I can't possibly imagine the chills I would get waking up to this while in orbit. I'd probably die of happiness :D

@ReelNASA I used to know U-2 pilots at Beale and a friend's dad first did the Astronaut trainings there way back when ...Can you imagine how cool this song was to wake up to that morning???? Wow

[eurojammer47]

Is the theme of Enterprise, not DS9
