Where can I find a list of songs played in space?

I know that Smash Mouth's "All Star" was played on the shuttle Discovery, but I was wondering what songs were played in the days, weeks, and years in prior days.

I have been working on theories regaurding dark matter which no one has been able to explain what , or where it is. I bealive that the dark matter is right infront of our face, (empty) space. My theory states that for any thing to exist it must have mass(no matter how small that mass may be). If space truely was nothingness as most scientist belive, there would be no way for energy from the sun to reach the earth. Energy moves in waves, these waves must pass through an oblect with mass in order to trasfer its self from one place to another. To describe this I use dominoes, lay out a set of 20 dominoes then have a space of 10 inches between the next set of five. When you push on the first dominoe in the set of ten just those ten fall over, when they reach the gap the dominoes energy stops( as energy must pass through an object with mass to move) Does my theory hold water? I have around 30 theories that I am working on if any one wants to hearmore of them let me know.

How close would it have to be? What about collisions, what makes an asteroid that is captured not collide, or does it eventually, like Phobos and Deimos will?

I am an educated person, but have forgotten some simple facts over the years. It seems the moon is inconsistent in where I see it each night. Is this normal? Earth rotates on it's axis (24 hrs) while revolving around the sun (365 days); the moon is our satellite. Does it rotate on an axis? Revolve around the earth? I have forgotten all this. Why does it seem like the moon is never in the same place each night? Finally what site maps the moon (live) so I can use my telescope?

How is it that the stars work as a compass? After all, the earth is moving so wouldn't the location of the stars change as well??

Since without a watch one assumes a vague time from the position of the sun in the sky, why does the sun's point on the compass not actually match the position of the hour hand on the clock?

Any astronomical and historical explanations will be appreciated. Thanks x

Ok, so you need water, methane and nitrogen to basically make amino acids, what is the stage called before water is added, i.e when the nitrogen has combined with the methane to produce an orange substance, i.e the clouds covering Saturns moon Titan.

At one point in time everything in the Universe was compressed into one tiny area (let's call this a hand grenade). Then, the big bang and everything started traveling outward at roughly the same speed (what speed?) like shrapnel.

It would seem logical that being in the vacuum of space everything would just move outward forever, never slowing down, but I know that is not so (why?).

If some force is slowing everything down, I assume it will all one day stop and eventually coalesce into one big hand grenade again.

Now my original question... Where are we in relation to the original big bang?

Where are we in relation to all of the other "shrapnel" or debris that was slung out from the big bang. Are we at the very edge (I think not as we would then see "nothing" in one direction, right?)?

Is there still a large mass of our "primordial soup" somewhere? Is there still a center from whence the big bang emanated? If so, where is it? ...and where are we in relation to it?

Why can't countries like China and the US work together when it comes to space travel? How do we expect human-kind to advance and make great new discoveries if we can't all work together towards common goals?
