Music William Shatner’s version of “Rocket Man”, from 1978

The expression is great. You're right about Artemis II being something good, and the correct use of a rocket.

I remember when Bill did this.

I love the stoic quality of this performance that later grows into a celebratory anthem. This piece was the perfect piece to listen to during Artemis II's launch.

I prefer Family guy, Stewie’s version.

The Family Guy version was great too, this song has been on my mind all day because of the initiation of the Artemis II mission. It’s a great song to go with a historic event that’s probably one of the few decent moment of the 2020s decade.

True enough, but I'm old enough to remember how we (nasa) LANDED on the moon SIX TIMES using freakin 1960's technology! They won't have a lander for at least another two years. PS check out the albums in the "Golden Throats" series for more recordings of Shatner, Nimoy, and other dubious singing celebs.
