Singer Beyonce delighted America’s astronauts on the final NASA shuttle mission with a special message and girl-power tribute. Beyonce recorded a touching wake-up call for the crew of shuttle Atlantis and gave a memorable shout-out to the sole female astronaut on the mission, Sandy Magnus.
The singer piped in her hit song Run The World (Girls) over the spacecraft’s sound system and told the group, “Good morning Atlantis. This is Beyonce. Sandy, Chris, Doug, and Rex, you inspire all of us to dare to live our dreams...
“This song is especially for my girl, Sandy, and all the women who? ve taken us to space with them, and the girls who are our future explorers.”
Beyonce follows in the footsteps of Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John, who have also recorded wake-up calls for NASA. –TOI
