Tracks
- Karma Countdown – AJR – Original Instrumental Remix
- This became my absolute favorite from this show. The track kicks off the show as a simple countdown turning to a launch sequence. Growing up in Florida and 2021 being the 10th anniversary of the final Space Shuttle flights, it just felt right to recognized such an amazing accomplishment in engineering.
- As the launch sequence begins, the color scheme shifts to be similar to those you see in rocket plumes: Blue, Purple, Red, Orange, Yellow, White
- The music is the instrumental version of AJR’s Karma. I overlapped the two verses as they move towards identical cowbell endings. This makes for an incredible and epic musical build up as the song moves towards liftoff. Nearly all of the NASA audio is from pre-launch preparations for the final launch of Endeavour, STS-134. The final 10 second countdown is from MAVEN’s launch.
- The names of all of the Space Shuttles – Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour, and the test bed Enterprise, are included in recognition of those who were lost and the feats that were accomplished.

- Uma Thurman Munster – Fall Out Boy and Jack Marshall – Original Mashup
- I created my own remix/mashup for some creative censoring of Uma’s first verse that made for some better visuals and keeping things more family friendly. The sampling of the Munsters theme in Uma made for an easy transition to the full theme song. Pop Colorture’s amazing colorized intro made for the perfect visual along side the lights. Let me know if you like the multiple camera angles in the comments below. I’m trying to find a way to capture as much as possible.
