I was thinking about what Carpenters songs I'd take into orbit, after finding out that there are apparently more than a few Carpenters fans in the Astronaut Corps. I would start with "Top Of The World", "Look To Your Dreams", and "Horizons" for starters. Any suggestions?

I made the suggestions of "We've Only Just Begun" and "Top Of The World".

Calling Occupants is in a time capsule floating around space somewhere continually playing over and over again with pictures of famous people books & with all other bits and bobs related to planet earth...so I heard somewhere... Just in case its picked up by another life form. Dont know how true this is. Ken carps1000

In honor of this shuttle's female commander, I choose "Man Smart, Woman Smarter". Just kidding fellas.......thought this would be cute though.

Considering the problems they're having with the spacecraft, perhaps Where Do I Go From Here? seems to be appropriate. Get everybody back safely Dave.

???always good to hear from you Dave....perhaps...
"only Yesterday"....which is all about starting over and /or looking forward to a brighter future. These days the crew and fans world over can look to the stars and universe and each other for strength, and surely, in my belief, God.

"The Rainbow Connection" seems to be fitting.

[YesterdayOnceMore]

How about "Look To Your Dreams." Seems to fit this scenario pretty well doesn't it?

Leave Yesterday Behind comes to mind and Calling Occupants everythig ya'll have said would be cooooool in space
