Why do you think...?

So, I'm making a playlist of songs about space because I'm in a Doctor Who writing mode and I'm wondering why all my favorite songs about space exploration are written by Brits?  Seriously, the top two are "Space Oddity" and "Rocketman."  Were the Brits really more into the whole space thing than we were?

Brits are cool.

Nuff said.

Well duh to that bit. But why do you write better songs about *space*?

Um.... Dan Dare? Maybe? Relative cultural upbringings being more space orientated over here, rather than classic superheroes and westerns?

......damn, I went all serious for a moment then.

Oh, you know how hot and bothered I get when you get all serious for a minute. ;-) Now I'm off to go find out who Dan Dare is. The next chappie of AGAHTL is about halfway re-written, in case you were curious.
