Astronautical Waltz

'Astronautical Waltz' focuses on the human experience of being an astronaut, not just for the Apollo crew but also for all space-travellers in missions before and since. The lyrics address training, exercise and concentration; the wearing of space-helmets, space-suits and astro-boots; gravity in space; and admiring the amazing view from the spacecraft window. With images from NASA.
