"We choose to go to the moon..."
"...we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." - JFK
Here is my 40th anniversary of the moon landing playlist I whipped up this morning. My iTunes library is sadly lacking "Rocket Man" or it would definitely be on there.

I think you are lacking "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum. It seems like every movie with NASA in it uses that song.
Going on the movie theme, I would also add:
"Space Cowboy" by 'N Sync (from the classic film of the same name)
"I don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith.
Also, I'm totally shocked you don't have "Rocket Man" in you itunes library.
