About European Space-ody
This famous ballad (you’ll recognise it right away) was covered by our friends over at the European Space Agency, who, when they’re not working hard exploring the Earth and our Solar System, spend their lunch breaks and evenings celebrating their twin passions: space flight and fabulous classic rock music. Who are we to disagree?

‘European Space-ody’ was written, performed and recorded by the Film Academy and the Musicians Group, two of the employee social clubs at ESA’s ESOC space operations centre in Darmstadt, Germany. It features many of the engineers, scientists, assorted boffins and their friends working at mission control – and, if you watch closely, you may spot a certain, famous musician in a cameo walk-on.

The producers took pains to mention: all maskless scenes were recorded prior to the Corona era. They advise: Wear a mask, wash your hands and stay socially distanced. Sincere thanks to Brian May and Queen. May the music never end...
