Note: These articles provide a
sampling of what was happening in space inspired music
during this period so the titles will remain here for
historical interest. Unfortunately, many of these articles
will expire over time.
When the the links go dead, the text will
be disconnected but still shown in italics.
If you want to follow up on an interesting
but disconnected item, there are a few possiblities:
- Most of the Yahoo news items are based on press
releases from companies, NASA or other agency. If
you go to the website of the particular company
or institution involved, it may have the PR in its archive.
Look for the News or Press Release page.
- Many online newspapers break their links after a
period of time but keep the articles in a searchable
archive. However, they often will charge for a search.
- If all else fails, try Google
or other search engine using the title or keywords
from the title.
