I recently stumbled upon the perfect combination of ambient music and space-nerd geekdom. And it was right in iTunes (or equivalently on the web). SomaFM Mission Control is the bomb. Space-ambient music, but mixed in and out in the mix is the space to ground chatter between the astronauts and MC from Apollo and STS missions. Reminds me of as a young lad spending hours and hours in front of the TV during Mercury, Gemini and early Apollo missions. For a time most of my brain stored stats from hockey cards and NASA acyromns (anybody remember BECO, don’t know why just one of my faves).

“if I put this cable on from that side it will be twisted”

“roger, go 317 az”

“nope that will wrap”…….

And excuse me if I say niner instead of 9.
