Rocket Probes – December 2023


Well here we are at the end of another year, and we are sad to reveal that this is also going to be the end of our Rocket Probes transmissions.

Our first Rocket Probes was June 2009 and for 175 months we have shared new and old music that graced Mission Control's decks. And at the end of our 25th year, it feels a good time to end this Rocket institution.

We will still keep on updating the Rocket Probes spotify playlist with new music so please keep listening/following the playlist – but there will be no more of these blog/FB transmissions. 

Thanks for listening...
