In celebration of the milestone, NASA astronaut Nick Hague spoke with Spotify about what space sounded like this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusic is one of those things that connects us to the planet,\u201d said Hague, in the video released on Spotify and NASA social accounts. \u201cMusic is a vital part of life up here. The soundtrack up here, it\u2019s just going all the time. Everybody\u2019s got their own flavor of music. Every Friday night the crew gets together, we turn on music and we stream things that we like. Whether they\u2019re into pop or hard rock, it\u2019s an international mix. When I think of space walks, I think of classical music, slow, methodical tunes, because that is the way that we conduct spacewalks. Slowly and methodically. Classical music captures the essence of, just floating in space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With listeners in more than 100 countries, NASA podcasts reached new audiences and inspired people around the world on Spotify this year.
