Michael Stipe sings Man on the Moon for Space Shuttle Atlantis.

The four astronauts of Atlantis, the final space shuttle mission, get a wakeup greeting from Michael Stipe who said, "I recorded Man on The Moon for NASA in Venice, Italy, where Galileo first presented to the Venetian government his eight-power telescope, and in 1610 wrote 'The Starry Messenger' (Sidereus Nuncius), an account of his early astronomical discoveries that altered forever our view of our place in the universe."

"Good morning, Atlantis, this is Michael Stipe from R.E.M.  We wish you much success on your mission, and thank all the women and men at NASA who have worked on shuttle for three decades.  From Earth, a very good morning to you."

DB, Don't know if you remember when Warren Zevon sang with the REM guys on instrumentation. Called themselves the Hindu Love Gods. Now that was some rockin stuff. Totally amazing. They really cranked out Raspberry Beret. That was in the 80's 90's? Worth listening to.

Thanks DB. They still sound better than REM to me. Just a heavy blues riff.
