Three country legends + NASA footage = the weirdest crossover event of 1989.
This was a concert performed in Houston for employees of NASA and their families to celebrate the US space program. Archival footage of NASA space missions was shown throughout the concert.
Production
NASA approved this. Someone pitched 'country stars + space footage' and got PAID.
Score
Three icons trading songs like they're passing a joint at a barbecue.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This aired during a moment when NASA desperately needed public support post-Challenger disaster—country music was the chosen emotional lubricant.
The title comes from a Labi Siffre song, not a country standard—making this perhaps the only time Willie Nelson covered a British soul artist for rocket scientists.
