Music From the Moon
China picks top 30 songs for moon satellite
BEIJING (Reuters) - China marked Friday's Moon Festival by announcing 30 songs to be broadcast to Earth next year from its first lunar-probing satellite.
The song that got the most votes was the folk ballad, "My Wonderful Home Town," followed by "I Love China," "Singing Praises of Motherland" and 27 others, Xinhua news agency said.
The songs were chosen according to public votes and by a panel of experts, organized by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, China Central Television and the China Musicians' Association.
I think they're done taking requests, but here are some other songs they might have considered:
Moon River - Audrey Hepburn (from Breakfast at Tiffany's)
Blue Moon - The Marcels (the definitive version)
Moondance - Van Morrison (one of my favorite songs of his)
Any other suggestions?

No song suggestions at the moment ... but we also adopted our daughter from Jiangxi Province but in 2005 and are hoping to go back.
