Everybody's Moonbase – Joel Polowin

“Everybody’s Moonbase,” a very insincere parody of Kathy Mar’s very sincere “Everybody’s Moon.”
Truck Driver to the Stars – Starlight
It’s been said that a lot of sci-fi over-glorifies the role of what are essentially trucker drivers in space, but…it would be really cool to be a truck driver in space, so I’m not sure what the problem is.
“Truck Driver To The Stars,” written by Richard Glover, performed by Richard Glover and an unknown combination of several people who are listed on the Bandcamp.
Fire In the Sky – Kristoph Klover
Audio Player
Prometheus they say brought god’s fire down to man
And we’ve caught it, tamed it, trained it since our history began
Now we’re going back to Heaven just to look Him in the eye
And there’s a thunder ‘cross the land and a fire in the sky.
“Fire in the Sky,” by Jordin Kare, performed by Kristoph Klover – for when you want to be REALLY PUMPED ABOUT SPACE but also kind of sad and afraid.
The Undiscovered Country – Mark Horning
“30 years after Challenger, perhaps we ought to contemplate on why we seek new heights.”
“The Undiscovered Country,” by Mark Horning
Pushing the Speed of Light – Julia Ecklar & Anne Prather
And you’ve left behind you the world of men
With no way in space to go home again
When you’re pushing the speed of light
Pushing the speed of light
Sorry I’ve been MIA for a while, I’ve been really busy. This is one of my all-time favorite space songs; I’m not sure why I haven’t posted it before.

Good Old Girl – Marian Call
Doin’ what they do, shepherding her through
Space will slow her stride, time will turn her tide
It’s far too much to take, but my girl don’t know when to break
So she’ll make she’ll make a way; she’s a good old girl, she’ll fly true
“Good Old Girl,” by Marian Call
Gotta love a song about spaceships. I think this was specifically inspired by Firefly, but it’s pretty general in a way I really like.
Spacer's Home – Vic Tyler
“Getting drunk in space” is an entire genre unto itself, and that’s beautiful.
“Spacer’s Home,” by Leslie Fish, sung by Vic Tyler

so @paticmak made this lovely drawing/animation of “poe singing space folk songs to the other resistance pilots” and then @soemily activated the SPACE-SIGNALING BEACON OF WRITE A SPACE FOLK SONG
this one turned out like 50% space folk song, 50% blindsided by poe dameron feelings. (surely you, the internet, understand.)
