The song evolved during the final editing of the movie and we're having a whole lot of fun with it.
It plays under the final credits and we now find that for many people it's their favorite part.
Everyone just seems to love it!
During the 2005 Oshkosh EAA AirVenture, we had the chance to sing the song with some of our friends from Virgin Galactic.
Pictured in mid-song above are, from left to right, Stephen Attenborough (VP of Astronaut Relations for Virgin Galactic), Will Whitehorn (President of Virgin Galactic), Dag Gano (Desert Turtle), Jackie McQuillan (Head of Human and Inter-Planetary Media Relations for Virgin Galactic) and Jim Sayers (Desert Turtle).
Not visible in the photo above are Susan Newsam (VP of Marketing for Virgin Galactic) and Ned Abel Smith (Astronaut Relations, Marketing and Production for Virgin Galactic). Also not visible is the crowd that gathered to whoop, holler and clap along (on 1 and 3, please!)
The session with the Virgin Galactic folks went so well that we then conspired with Burt Rutan's wife, Tonya, to surprise Burt and his astronauts at the end of their final presentation at Oshkosh.
Pictured above are Burt Rutan, Brian Binnie and Mike Melvill addressing a large gathering just moments before Dag, Jim and eight beautiful Virgin Galactic girls took the stage to seranade them along with about 2500 of their closest friends.
We're hoping to obtain video from the event and if we can, we'll post it here in the future. If you were there and have any video or photos of the song event, please contact us!
