When the Space Shuttle Discovery began its a 13-day, 8.5 million-kilometer trip to the International Space Station last month, pilot Mark E. Kelly took some Aerosmith albums with him.
Says Kelly: ?I met Steven at a couple of events and I mentioned to him that I could fly with a couple of CDs. I asked him if he wanted me to take his favorite Aerosmith CDs into space. This was a huge honor for me.?
I don’t think you had to ask for Steven Tyler’s blessing, Mark. But whatever.
?Everyone aboard the flight heard ?Janie?s Got A Gun,? which is on my Ipod, and it was blasting out of the speakers. Sounded pretty cool up there.?
The CDs were returned to Aerosmith upon Kelly?s arrival. I guess ’cause they were covered in special space dust or something?
Would’ve been a nice publicity stunt (eight years ago).

Aerosmith sounds best in hte depths of a deep space black hole, where no sound can travel…
In space, nobody can hear Aerosmith…
fire and steel
earth unreal
find another planet to stay
It is good to know that an astronaut apparently can not afford to buy cds at todays high prices, and has to borrow them from the artist.
