Here’s an overview of “space sounds”, i.e. naturally produced radio signals from the planets, deep space, meteors, etc converted to audio: The spooky sounds of space: Since the 1950s, probes sent into space have been sending back data that reveal eerie sounds from the vastness of the galaxy. – CNET.

An interesting article about two documentary style films about spaceflight made in the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 60s by director Pavel Klushantsev : This is (maybe) how we’d have colonised the Moon if the Soviet Union had got there first – New Statesman.
The Moon. ЛУНА (1965)

The film consists of two parts: popular scientific and science-fiction.
In the first part in the popular form the modern (1965) scientific convergence on the Moon are stated. In the second part the director and the artist create a picture of the future of the Moon.

A reminder that the Moonandback effort to transcribe and archive their great collection of NewSpace interview videos needs your help: The People of NewSpace (2010-2013) — a Moonandback documentary project>RocketHub
–
We have acquired a unique record of interviews, speeches and presentations over the past three-plus years. This project is seeking funds to transcribe our 102+ hours of video content for donation to the National Air & Space Museum. It will take $10,500 to get the archive transcribed and into a repository at the Smithsonian. Our stretch goal (anything above $10.5K) will enable us to continue documenting the broad canvas that is the NewSpace community.

@XCOR donated $1k to @MoonandbackGuy‘s “People of NewSpace”. @MichaelBelfiore calls it “important historical record” http://www.rockethub.com/projects/45110-the-people-of-newspace-2010-2013-a-moonandback-documentary-project …
Update: Twitter / XCORAndrew:
We challenge large space companies to double our $1k pledge, and small space companies to match it — http://www.rockethub.com/projects/45110-the-people-of-newspace-2010-2013-a-moonandback-documentary-project …
