From HobbySpace: quote:
Roger Launius, curator at the National Air and Space Museum and formerly the Chief Historian for NASA, gives a serious examination of space filk music in Got Filk? Lament For Apollo In Modern Science Fiction Folk Music presented by at the 55th Int. Astronautical Congress 2004, Vancouver, Canada. A version of this paper was also in a recent issue of the Quest: The History of Spaceflight Quarterly.
Also: HobbySpace has a full section devoted to space-inspired music. |

That's a brilliant and very thought-provoking article; an excellent exploration of the social and cultural impact of the Apollo program. I'd like to see more like it.I also appreciate the intro into the world of space filk. Some of the songs are really beautiful. |

Although not featuring music, you may like my article APOLLO-11: How The World Found Out - which I wrote back in 1974.It gives many facts and figures about how Apollo-11 information was distributed and presented throughout the world. I have it as a PDF if you want a copy
