The magic of this piece: cold isolated space, military cadences, vocal choruses - ethereal. So many sensations hitting one's senses simultaneously. John Barry and Jerry Goldsmith know how to capture a moment in audio.

The POWER of a John Barry composition can never be over stated. The man was a musical melody genius!

Just bought John Barry's album... Haven't seen anyone for 4 days 👍ex has moved out... Dogs eating the carpet... I'm finding my soul.. the price we pay 👌

It may be one of the silliest cheesiest Bond movies ever made... but my god, when John Barry does a space themed filmscore its incredible. Love his work both on this and You Only Live Twice, my 2 fave Barry Bond scores.

John Barry really had his finger on the pulse of the bond movies and his tracks really amped up the excitement which is sadly lacking in the newer ones

It's funny that with all the truly beautiful and amazing music John has composed that my favourite thing he ever did was the part that begins at 2:15 and appears at the end when Bond and Goodhead are chasing the probes. I always hear it in my head when I am under severe pressure with college work and it somehow always seems to get me through. It's an inspirational piece.

Sir Frederick Gray: My god, what's Bond doing? Q: I think he's attempting re-entry, sir.

GOD BLESS YOU ROGER MOORE R. I. P. 💐🌹🌈

Flight Into Space is one of the best James Bond pieces ever. To see John Barry's music accompanied by ISS footage is moving. Thanks a lot for sharing this with us.

The great John Barry brightens up any day...his genius will be recognised in time...

For all aspiring film composers out there, this is required viewing.

Masterpiece.

I’ve always hoped that, at least once during a Shuttle mission to the ISS, someone rose to the occasion and played this prior to docking.

Its opening itself is already awe-inspiring.

ABSOLUTE GENIUS JOHN BARRY

John Barry always captured the moment of the event, and he's one of the best at it and he's been able to do it consistently

I remember the first time I heard john barry, my father took me to see king kong at the baker theatre in Dover new jersey in 1976, his music captured my attention and I haven't stopped listening since

John Barry makes one Masterpiece after another this music is absolutely Timeless and it fits the event, one of my favorite pieces from him was the space March in the double o seven movie You Only Live Twice

Stunning. Both sonically and visually

We will miss you so much sir !! Love you & your wondrous music ...... Mr John Barry

absolutely beautiful piece, one of Barry's best ever

"At least I shall have the pleasure of putting you out of my misery. Desolated Mr. Bond ?" "Heartbroken Mr. Drax - allow me. Take a giant step for mankind !"

Magnificent combination of authentic ISS footage with John Barry's haunting score.

When I listen to this I look up and let my eyes wander all over the ceiling as I imagine myself in space

John Barry's music made the movies whether a western or sci fi a true master music maker. sadly missed 😔

John Barry is simply: IL MAESTRO!!!

Sad that I can only give this one thumb's up.

this video and music is simply amazing, in fact, it makes you rather small and insignificant!

great music-great video...john barry was one of the most important and influential musicians of the last century in my opinion...esp w/ the john barry seven but also w/out them-his music has this weird edge to it that makes it different to most other instrumental stuff...his music did not only insprire other soundtrack writers -i personally think it goes much further than this...he opened up a new dimension in my eyes...

The note at 4:52 gets me everytime. My favorite piece

That footage was astounding.

His music has a excellence

This is absolutely fantastic.

A magnificent video about our future in space.

What a tune!

used to listen to the bond soundtracks by Barry when I worked nightshift. they used to keep my pumped and motivated.

Whenever I listen to John Barry's 70s Bond soundtracks I dearly wish that I could see the movies they go with.

I just played this in synchronisation with a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch, specifically the SXK-7 mission. It fitted scarily well.

Looking down on our beautiful earth and what we all doing destroying her shame on us all.

This make me feel so small looking at earth this high in space

John Berry was a true master!

Just beautiful, love it.

This must be the prettiest Song, John Barry ever wrote for 007.... This great Soundtrack is so underrated... beside the other Master-Pieces "On Her Majestie's"" and "Diamonds Are For Ever". (Pat, Switzerland)

Whether or not you like Bond films, or even if Roger Moore is your least favourite Bond, there’s no taking away from Barry’s film score from this film. If there’s a better one then please let me know. I think Wagner would be impressed.

Oh, man. Our species is AWESOME!

At 5:29 and following, a bit of a homage to Gustav Holst from John Barry (Neptune the Mystic from The Planets). Beautiful!

Genius ❤️

I had never seen this video before but I liked the music-awesome!

Wondrous and surreal..

First the was the dream....Now there is reality......How true indeed!

Rewatched The Black Hole, scored by Barry the same year, and there are so many similarities between the two pieces musically it's like Barry used Black Hole a sketchbook for this piece.

Watching this made me cry.

This is the music that should be played when we have to leave Earth for the very last time, due to the Sun's increased luminosity etc.

John barry is the greatest

moonraker. Now all you need is Drak's space station.

WOW! Great music and great art!! Thanks for the post!

Excellent

Seeing the Great Lakes at 4:00 was neat. 4:25 view of universe was awesome.

This may very well be Sir John Barry's most exquisite contribution to the 007 lore. Seriously. I know the actual Bond theme is attributed to him, but this is a masterpiece.

This is very nice. It would have been quite something if you had been able to put in a shot of a craft docking at the ISS at the same time when, in the original score, the Moonrakers are docking at Drax's secret space station. But as it is, it's perfectly good.

beautiful

I always get chills at 2:45

moonraker bond at his best and great music perfect for the movie me Moore was my no1 bond

L O V E T H I S

I still can't make up my mind on which I like better: the Spy who loved me or moonraker. they're both the best Roger Moore era bond movies.

Love it!.......thanks for sharing

Great composer

Beautiful together have added to my page LondonMusicLounge/ Cosmic Classical' thank you

Spettacolo musica fantastica eccezionale.

cf. the last movements of Holst's "the Planets"

Great inspiring footage and the right music to go with it. Thank you for making this available. I wonder if we will ever see another Bond movie set offworld?

Dream music

SURREAL

how little and insignificant we are.

Sadly the newer more "grounded" James Bond movies abandoned the shear insanity of the 70's-80's era ones. Which climaxed in Moonraker.

James Bond 007 (1979) Moonraker. All in pairs, just like back then. As in Noah's Ark, this operation runs. (On the flight to Hugo Drax's space station) John Barry my hero in music. Jorge

Awesome, absolutely awesome.

4:28 says it all....

This is so lovely video❤❤❤

John Barry was a huge fan of Gustav Mahler, whose Ninth Symphony he named his BBC Desert Island Disc. I'm a Mahler fan as well, and it's difficult for me not to hear this as a malevolent variant of the finale from his Second Symphony, also known as The Resurrection. Given Drax's plan, it makes sense. He's "resurrecting" humanity in his image, but only with a select few whom he sees as fit while murdering everyone else.

Wow 😮 Added to my "Exploring The Planets" playlist, which is the highest form of praise 😁👌 Yeah nah, great edit. If the culture weren't so brat teenager snarky at the moment, people would marvel at the triumph of civilisation in all that.

Wonderfull

Moonraker one Liftoff!!!!

4:25 amazing

Along with Goldsmith and Williams, John Barry truly was a fantastic composer.

I highly recommend listening to the The Black Hole soundtrack by Barry first and then this one. You can definitely hear the tonal similarities and signature use of brass that Barry has become so known for. Both TBH and Moonraker scores should be 'must listen' for any fan of film scores.

bloody hell i just want to be floating up there

Great music

Who needs Star Trek when we have all this beauty on our doorstep?

Wonderful Escenes with sound From Constelations :) :) Wow :) :) !!! Maravillosa música de Otro Mundo :) :) Saludos :) :) !!! :)

- And the animals went in, two by two. - What do you mean? - Noah's ark. This operation.

1:45 to 2:15 is beautiful.

love it

...and the animals went marching in two by two

Master of masters ;))))
