I'm not the biggest fan of Apple Music by any stretch, but anything that promotes the exploration of the universe is absolutely fine by me. :)

Does the list feature Gustav Holst? His composition would be ideal in this situation I would think!

If at least one of these songs was appropriate for a mission close to the biggest planet of our solar system. It's all pop music -_-
Probably searching for Space Music in Spotify produces better results.

The classical music score "Jupiter, The Bringer Jollity" composed by Holst would have been more appropriate for this video.
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is touring through Europe right now. For example:

The program varies from venue to venue, but includes the complete "Planets", and either the complete "Also sprach Zarathustra" or parts of it, with some film music from 2001 added.
