Music from Earth and Space

NASA astronaut Cady Coleman plays flute in the ISS, with Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson playing on Earth, in a duet of the 'Bourée' (Bach arr. Jethro Tull) to honour Yuri Gagarin.

Link to YouTube video.

I'm sure Bach would approve...

(Thanks to redaxe for the pointer.)

Thankyou!

Notable also for the demonstration of how long wavy hair *really* behaves in space! =:o}

Also for proving that living in space really does keep you young -- she's only 4 years younger than me, and going by that video could pass for not much over half that!

Yes, the hair is spectacular (as was the totally unnecessary but visually fun entry "upside down"). I remember when some authors were thinking that all astronauts would need to be bald (or shaved that way) because of problems with longer hair.
