MUSIC AND SPACE “We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.” ― Arthur O’Shaughnessy To start this chapter, me must have in mind this simple question: can we actually live without music?

As we see it, music can only be described as a brain workout.

Research show that in a 17 year old time frame(1981-1998), there where more than 1800 in-flight medical events, a significant procent including behavioral health:most common symptoms triggered throughout a space journey being transient anxiety, depression and annoyance. Other medical manifestations are space adaptation sydrome related to motion sickness and headaches and risk of acute or late central nervous system effects from Space Radiation , affecting motor function and behavior, resulting in neurological disorders. In space, the exposure to radiation are dissimilar in comparison to the levels on Earth and the particular reason for that circumstance are 3 main sources that take part in the space radiation surroundings: trapped particules in the terrestrial magnetic field, solar energetic particules and cosmic rays.

Needless to say,by implementing music on the spaceship we can merely enhance one’s mental health. How? It upgrades creativity,self-expression and the entire neural mechanism for that matter. Studies also show that critical problem-solving mentality is further ameliorated. Listening to or playing music plays a significant role during the age process, keeping the brain engaged.

Health wise,the impact of music causes an easier blood flow, reduction of the heart rate and decrease in the stress hormone. In like manner,not only serotonin and endorphin levels are increased, but also sleep quality, mood, mental alertness, memory. Astonishing results with such a mundane activity!

Why did we go for a song?

As a group, we would like to be defined by our composition, creating our very own anthem. The particular reason is bringing the selected people for this trip closer toghether, as the sense of cooperative work is manadory in this circumstance. Music is the universal language of mankind. We desire to attain the ideal combination of musical intruments, the piano, guitar, bass and drums completing each other, in a melodious and playful way.
