Being a NASA astronaut is awesome enough on its own, but the crew of the Discovery shuttle got an extra dose of cool when their wake-up call was changed to the ‘Star Trek’](http://television.aol.com/show/star-trek/233437/main) opening as read by William Shatner.
Shatner famously played Captain James Tiberius Kirk on the original ‘Star Trek’ television series, whose theme came in second place in a public vote to compile a Top 40 list for NASA’s Song Contest. The top two songs with the most votes from that list earned a slot to wake Discovery’s crew during its final mission.
