There are moments in life that don’t feel real until you say them out loud.
This is one of them.
During a recent NASA press conference for the upcoming Artemis II mission, our vocalist, K Enagonio, who is one of the lead cinematographers for spaceflight media team Interstellar Gateway, was asking NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman a question about the future Artemis mission "wake up" songs and if musicians and bands would potentially be able to submit music for that playlist. It was a moment that drew a lot of eyes to Chasing Satellites.
We later got word from one of the lead scientists for the Lunar Science team that the entire SMOR (Science Mission Operations Room) team cheered when this question was asked and answered! It seems we've made a few new fans and we are so grateful for that!
From Writing Songs About Space… to Being Part of the Conversation
From day one, Chasing Satellites has been rooted in something bigger than just music.
We’ve always been inspired by space; not just the visuals, but the feeling of it:
isolation
curiosity
the unknown
the idea that we’re all made of something cosmic
To have our name spoken in the same breath as real-world space exploration, especially tied to a mission like Artemis II — is something we never could have scripted.
With the release of our song "Space Hero" we have been embraced by the spaceflight community and it's been so cool to have their support!
Why Artemis II Matters
For those who might not be deep into the space world, Artemis II is a massive step forward. It’s NASA’s first crewed mission around the Moon in over 50 years — a mission that pushes humanity closer to returning to the lunar surface and eventually heading to Mars.
This isn’t just history repeating itself.
This is history evolving.
And somehow, in a small but surreal way, we were part of that moment.
K was in Titusville for the Artemis II launch and shot from Space View Park in Titusville, which is tribute to space history, featuring monuments for the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle programs, including memorials to the Columbia and Challenger disasters. Those brave humans gave everything so that we may touch the stars again some day. Artemis II is proof that when great minds and souls come together that we can accomplish incredible things.
Closeups are cool, but this image tells the story.
The Power of Saying It Out Loud
There’s something powerful about speaking your band name spoken in a space like that. Our mission statement is to become the first band to play on Mars and with this unique opporunity to not only be in a room so full of curiousity, but to also support our mission, as well as other bands out there who want to get involved, this was a powerful moment.
Everything we’ve built with Chasing Satellites — the music, the visuals, the themes — has always been about chasing something bigger than ourselves. And in that moment, it felt like we weren’t just chasing it anymore…
We were orbiting it.
What This Means for Us
This moment reinforces why we do this.
We’re going to keep creating:
heavier songs
bigger visuals
deeper stories
and more immersive worlds
Because if there’s one thing this proved, it’s that the line between art and reality is thinner than we think.
This Is Just the Beginning
If you’re new here — welcome.
If you’ve been with us since the early days — thank you for helping us get to a moment like this.
We’ve got new music, new visuals, and a lot more coming soon.
And trust us…
We’re just getting started.
With love, from Earth,
Chasing Satellites
