Popular Post Andy 4,071 Posted June 25, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 Reflecting on this, what a missed opportunity that NASA never commissioned an official piece of celebratory music from him! John could’ve delivered Americana like the Patriot or whatever. To play before each launch and sell the theatricality of their efforts to the public.

That was my first thought when I saw the thread title. Wikipedia says: Quote NASA conferred their Public Service Medal to Vangelis in 2003. The award is the highest honour the space agency presents to an individual not involved with the American government.

Tom 4,631 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I would love a NASA commissioned work, but I suppose that is not realistic. Heck, even a reworked Spacecamp concert piece with tones of Williams "mature" stylings could be brilliant, analogous to Leaving Home for the Oscars.

Edmilson 7,369 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I think I'll create a thread: "What is the best NASA-inspired score? Williams' SpaceCamp vs Horner's Apollo 13 vs Conti's The Right Stuff" Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 4,631 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Williams is a bit dogged down by having the weakest movie of the three, particularly the purely kiddie stuff. However, the majesty of exploration stuff tops the other two. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
