NASA launched the Artemis II mission on April 1, sending four astronauts—Jeremy Hansen, Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Christina Koch—aboard the Orion spacecraft to the Moon. A week into their journey, the space crew created a playlist to keep them active each day of their flight.
“Each song was selected by the lunar crew, continuing a tradition that began more than 50 years ago,” NASA explained, along with a photo of the astronauts on Instagram.
