Peggy Seeger has a "Spacegirl's Song," recently recorded by the Short Sisters (on Live from Four States). Jonathan Eberhart's "Solar Privateer" is more of a poetic interpretation of science fact than science fiction, but could qualify. It will be on the new Boarding Party album, forthcoming sometime next year. His "Lament For a Red Planet," on the Life's Trolley Ride album, is a similar case.

Bob Zentz has a song called "Wrinkle in Time," after Madeline L'Engle's book. I once had the opportunity to ask Madeline L'Engle if she'd ever heard the song, and was thrilled to hear her reply, "Yes, I love it. I love all the music that comes out of Sharon, CT."
