Paul McCartney Provides First-Ever Live Station Wakeup Music

During his tour, McCartney has paid tribute to the crew of Space Shuttle Discovery's STS-114 mission, a flight to the space station last summer. On Aug. 9, the Beatles' classic "Good Day Sunshine" was played as a wakeup call for Discovery's crew because of a favorable weather forecast for landing that morning.

The landing was set for August 8th or 8/8!

8 August

• 03:20 EDT: T+12:16:41 Mission Control waves off the first of two landing opportunities for Space Shuttle Discovery due to low clouds over Kennedy Space Center
• 05:04 EDT: T+12:18:25 Mission Control waves off the second landing attempt, delaying the landing for another day. Landing is now tentatively scheduled for 05:07 EDT 9 August at Kennedy Space Center. In the event of inclement weather in Florida, NASA will land Discovery at Edwards Air Force Base in California, or, as a last resort, White Sands, New Mexico

STS 114 was launched on July 26. Stanley Kubrick's birthday.

STS-114 was the first "Return to Flight" Space Shuttle mission following the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. The Space Shuttle Discovery launched at 10:39 EDT (14:39 UTC), 26 July 2005. The launch, 907 days (approx. 29 months) after the loss of Columbia, was approved despite unresolved fuel sensor anomalies in the external tank; those anomalies had prevented the shuttle from launching on 13 July, its originally scheduled date.

The Beatles however are known for 9's

Excellent 9/9/09/ Beatles connections from this blog:
Revolution 9/9/09

On September 9, 2009 (09/09/09), Apple/EMI Records, on behalf of the surviving Beatles, will release its digitally re-mastered Beatles catalog as well as its "The Beatles: Rock Band" video game. One person who dismisses the idea of the forthcoming release date of 09/09/09 as a mere marketing ploy is Joseph Niezgoda, author of the recently published book The Lennon Prophecy, a chapter of which is devoted particularly to John Lennon's association with the number nine.

NASA's shuttle Discovery was in space on 9/9/09 and returned on 9/11/09.  9/9/09 was originally scheduled to be Discovery's last day in space with a landing on 9/10. Notice 9/10 would be one day after 9/9 which resonates "One after 909"

NASA Wakeup Call for 9/10/09 was "Good Day Sunshine" (9/10=one after 909) so 9/10/09 is also 1 after 9/9/9

Here is what it says:

10 September (Flight Day 14 – Landing Postponed)

On flight day 14, Discovery was scheduled to land at Kennedy Space Center at 19:04 EDT (23:04 UTC). The landing was postponed due to weather conditions, and the second opportunity at 20:40 EDT (00:40 UTC) was also postponed due to weather conditions

The song played on 9/9/9 was for CERN's astronaut ( CERN seems heavily connected with the 9 symbolism) I find it remarkable but maybe not surprising NASA played The Beatles the day after 09/09/09 and followed up with a Beatles theme poster on EXP 26...

was the 26th long-duration mission to the International Space Station. The expedition's first three crew members – one US astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts – arrived at the station on board Soyuz TMA-01M on 10 October 2010. Expedition 26 officially began the following month on 26 November,^[2] when half of the crew of the previous mission, Expedition 25, returned to Earth on board Soyuz TMA-19.^[2] The rest of the Expedition 26 crew – one US astronaut, one Russian cosmonaut and one ESA astronaut – joined the trio already on board when their spacecraft, Soyuz TMA-20, docked with the station on 17 December 2010.

The commander of Expedition 25, Douglas Wheelock, handed over command of the station to Expedition 26 commander Scott Kelly on 24 November 2010. The 26 crew was joined by the crew of STS-133 on 26 February 2011,^[3] and was supplied by the ESA's Johannes Kepler unmanned resupply craft, which arrived on 24 February.
