Main: From the Library—50 Years Above the Earth

Today we're celebrating two space travel anniversaries that occurred yesterday: first, the 50th anniversary of the first human journey into space by Yuri Gagarin; and secondly the 30th anniversary of the first orbital test flight of the NASA Space Shuttle.

As a result, we'll be playing selections of music with a space theme, from a wide range of genres, from rock to classical and with a variety of instrumentation. Artists range as widely as Isao Tomita and the Carpenters; Karl Jenkins and Brian Eno; and Holst and Mannheim Steamroller.

Today's programme is presented by Elrik Merlin and produced by thap gump in conjunction with our friends at the Alexandrian Free Library Consortium of Second Life.
