Was thinking about downloading some songs all on the same theme for a road trip. I heard the 80's song "Why Me" by Planet P the other day and thought maybe some of the classic songs on space travel would be cool. Any suggestions?

Space Oddity - David Bowie
Major Tom - Peter Schilling
Why Me - Planet P
Children of the Sun - Billy Thorpe

Forgot about some of those obvious ones. Was thinking that surely ELO had one since their logo was a giant spaceship and then remembered "Ticket to the Moon"

This is an album. And it isn't really about space travel

Johnny Cash's portion of Highway Man covers the topic extensively

Not sure if specifically about "space travel" but keeping on the Bowie theme 'Starman' might be a good one.

First thing that popped in my head:

Giant steps are what you take,
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break,
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever,
Walking on the moon
We could live together,
Walking on, walking on the moon


But this song might be about a guy walking home from getting laid for the first time.

Check out '39 by Queen. It's a story about futuristic space travel, where a group of volunteers travel through the universe for a year looking for a new world. However, because of space/time issues, their space year equals 100 years on earth, so things are not the same when they return. Great acoustic work by Brian May and backing vocals by Roger Taylor as well.
