NASA Wakes Artemis II Crew With Chappell Roan’s ‘Pink Pony Club’

Overview

• Mission Control in Houston played Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” as the crew’s wake‑up music during a live NASA stream.
• The broadcast cut the track before the chorus, and the astronauts joked that they were waiting for their favorite part.
• A controller replied that they would try again next time, signaling the song could return in a fuller play.
• NASA says Johnson Space Center selects short wake‑up songs for Artemis II as a light way to start the crew’s day and connect with viewers on Earth.
• Coverage noted recent attention on Roan after a Brazil incident shared by footballer Jorginho, which she addressed by saying the guard involved was not on her team.
