I have found both these tracks to be great. Both are uplifting but I find I enjoy the Armageddon track more. What's everyone else's?

I could only think of two tracks for this poll. I don't know if SpaceCamp has a track since it's been 20 years since I last saw the film and almost as many since I heard the music

I can't remember Rabin's, but I'm sure Horner's is better. Apollo 13 happens to be the last score I listened to while cooking, and his take off and landing cues are among the best cues he's written.

Star Trek the Motion Picture,

to show how bad this poll is, the put Armaggeddon on any best list is insane.

I agree, so many left off.

Bruce Broughton's launch cue from Lost In Space could have been included.

Given the choices above Horner by a landslide.

You also forgot "Imperial Cruiser Pursuit" from ANH. Not a stereotypical space launch cue, but it fits very well. That high sustained horn note with the triangle roll and string tremolos gets me every time. :)

Horner's "Enterprise Clears Moorings" from Star Trek II was great, also. Technically, the ship to be launched is already in space, but that's all right.

I forgot this one. :)

I'll also add "Finale and End Title March" from the end of Superman. And maybe "Growing Up", since we could imagine that the football was kicked into space. And "Turning Back the World."

"Magic Carpet Ride" in First Contact was fun.

End Titles from Close Encounters tops the list easy.

Dan--who thinks there's a lot more great space-entry cues than he realized.

Hey, look. I told you all I couldn't think of any others. bowdown I was thinking more of UPLIFTING music associated with such a launch.

To any one else who wants to critisize the lack of poll options I give you the evil eyes of death :)

Well, it is rather rare.....I'm dying to get it, but haven't found the means yet.

You can borrow it at the Library I've been going go to recently,among with 100 other Goldsmith scores.
