Determine astronauts' playlists

We've seen iPods go into space before. That's cool and all, but wouldn't it be cooler to determine what the astronauts actually listen to out there? The European Space Agency (ESA) wants to make that happen.

The task is simple: Think of the ten songs you would want to hear if you were on the International Space Station (ISS), and write them down. The ESA will declare one list the winner, load it onto an iPod and send that iPod to the ISS via their brand new
Automated Transfer Vehicle (it will be the vehicle's maiden voyage, in fact) later this year. In addition, the winner will travel to Kourou, French Guiana (South America) to watch the ATV launch.

Check out the complete rules here. Good luck.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
