Am I the only one here that thinks it's more than a little strange to play wake up music to a computer?

You have company.

I've griped about it a little on other threads, but I've not become sufficienty irritated to gripe to NASA/JPL. It's the kind of cutesy, inane pablum that is more befitting of Walt Disney. But at another level it is a symptim of the depth of utter indoctrination of today's "scientists" in "social PC" . . . It leads to an accretion at the top of "scientists" who decide to scrap more reliable products for more "environmentaly friendly" products . . . and dead astronauts.

This generation has devolved by a factor of ten from the "Von Braun" crowd that got us to the moon.

The triumph of junk science over real science - I can't argue with you there.

"This generation has devolved by a factor of ten from the "Von Braun" crowd that got us to the moon."

Wow. Such grumpiness, such curmudgeonry. Some people are both able to have a little fun AND do serious work. This has been the case since before, during, and after the Von Braun era.

They might have said the music was for the rover, but it was really for the team. Just a fun little marker to start out another mission day.

Lighten up.
