Soundtrack for Mars

Here's something. It's about the songs the engineers and scientists working on the Mars Rover missions would listen to while managing the rovers' exploration of Mars. The songs fit whatever is going on with the scientists or the rover, echoing both frustration and triumph. For example, when the rover is stuck, they hear Elvis' "Stuck on You." Listed at the bottom is a full playlist for Opportunity. This gives me some hope, because although I am grossly unqualified to pursue a career in scientific space exploration, I could still get hired as their official maker of playlists (like that one guy that works for Chipotle).
