A vacation to venus, a journey to jupiter, where in the galaxy would you like to go?
The passengers whisper nervously as they prepare to be propulsed into orbit, the pilot gradually raises the fader on the intercom, a crisp rolling snare errupts around the cabin, followed by martian-esque squelch, 5...4...3...2...
The solid rocket boosters errupt into life and the amateur astronauts bolt into the sky closely followed by a screeching sonance as they break the sound barrier.
If you haven't got $200,000 spare for Virgin Galactic and its future competitors, don't worry Popof have recreated the experience for you.

Are we any closer to experiencing the sensation of soaring above the earth, who knows? But man's obsession with the galaxy has transcended culture throughout the centuries, and is nowhere more prominent than music.
Meet Space, a French Space disco band from 1977 originally fronted by Didier Marouani and influenced by growing up with the lunar-landing and the sci-fi epedemic that followed. They have sold over £12 Million copies of their first 3 albums all over the world. It is safe to say that Daft Punk were some what cosmically-inspired by what they saw and heard.
This phenomenal subgenre of Hi-NRG/eurodisco may have disintegrated at the speed of a stray comet hurtling through the Earth's atmosphere, but it has gone on to inspire waves of electronic artists over the past two decades.
Before you depart to seek out an old Korg synthesizer and a motorcycle helmet to customize, I leave you with a cover of Space's 'Magic Fly' from the galactically fabulous Felix Da Housecat and one of my favourite tracks of all time, perfect for star gazing on a warm night.
