Worship Service Music in Space

The "praise team" of musicians from Astronaut, Mike Foreman's church recorded a version of his favorite song for playing on the Space Shuttle this past Easter monrning.

Here's the info from NASA:

Mission Control here at NASA's Johnson Space Center roused Endeavour's crew at 12:28 p.m. ET with the Newsboys song "I Am Free," a tune chosen specifically for mission specialist Mike Foreman and performed by his church's praise team.

"Good morning, Endeavour and Happy Easter to you Mike," NASA astronaut Alvin Drew radioed up from Mission Control.

"Thanks, Alvin," Foreman replied. "That's one of my favorite songs in church, so I especially want to thank all my friends at Friendswood United Methodist Church for their thoughts and prayers. ... That was awesome, how appropriate for this special day. It sounded as good up here as it does down there. Happy Easter."
