Played in space by Neil Armstrong The Hollywood producer Mickey Kapp compiled a cassette tape of tracks from the album for astronaut Neil Armstrong, who brought the tape on the Apollo 11 Moon mission in 1969. He played it from the Apollo spacecraft on a Sony TC-50 during the flight back from the Moon when it was about 150,000 nautical miles (280,000 km) from Earth, and explained, 'That's an old favorite of mine, about It's an album made about 20 years ago, called Music Out of the Moon.' (NASA audio recording) The record appears in First Man, the 2018 biopic of Armstrong directed by Damien Chazelle.
