Clint Black goes into space

Tuesday, May 31, 2011 – Clint Black went into space, well at least a song of his did.

This past weekend, Black received a message on his Twitter page from NASA. He discovered his Galaxy Song song was played to wake the crews of Endeavour and Expedition 28.

The message was: "Astronauts and space station crew awoke to 'Galaxy Song' by Clint Black, played for the entire crew on their last day at station."

Black tweeted, "As a child, I dreamed of being an astronaut. And now one of my songs is an astronaut. I hope they gave it some Tang."
