VH-1

“That aint working, that's the way you do it. Play the GeeTar on the VH-1”

~ Mark Knopfler on getting old

NASA's VH-1 offered no unnecessary excitement.

VH-1 was an experimental spacecraft developed by NASA to deliver lightweight 80's geezer music via satellite to aging yuppies in the United States.

In the early 80s, NASA scored a critical success with the MTV program. Videos of the spacecraft being launched and astornauts in multi-colored spacesuits planting flags into the lunar surface were seen repeatedly all over the world. High spirits were soon dashed as Congress cut NASA's budget.

Fleetwood Mac, an early prototype of VH-1.

NASA decided to turn to a strategy of "better, faster, cheaper" missions, leading to the VH-1 program. Prototypes were powered by bands such as Fleetwood Mac and Hootie and the Blow, which provided a stable, always predictable flow of power. Later versions incorporated weak but reliable power from Sting, The Dave Matthews Band and a favorite old NASA workhorse, Madonna.

Later versions of the craft, VH-2 and VH-3, never made it past the design phase, as it was determined from lengthy demographic analysis that VH-1's strangely perfect balance of blandness and inertia would likely keep the craft in operation for decades.
