The following para is forwarded from the Cosmic Mirrors space news site; & is dedicated to those members of this list with dual interests in space exploration & CM (there are a few; although we seldom raise our heads to admit it). The Mars lander Beagle 2 has the musical support of Britpop band Blur; DIVA has Mozart; there's even an opera singer with a senior role in NASA's astrobiology institute (inspiring more than a few jokes about her interest in alien intelligence being inspired by the people she met on the opera stage). I wonder when someone is going to bring in the popular composer & space mystic Alan Hovhaness on one of these projects?
