Astronauts wake up to REM's "Man on the moon"

By Jack Brummet
Aerospace Editor

NASA reported today that today’s astronaut wakeup song was ‘Man on the Moon,” by R.E.M. The transmission to the shuttle also includes a message from Michael Stipe:

“Good morning, Atlantis. This is Michael Stipe from R.E.M. We wish you much success on your mission and thank all the women and men at NASA who have worked on the shuttle for three decades. From Earth, a very good morning to you.”
