Obviously Brian May from Queen.
Dexter Holland of the Offspring would be pretty high on the list. He has a PhD in molecular biology and is also a licensed pilot.
James Williamson of the Stooges became an electrical engineer, working at AMD and then became VP of technical standards at Sony, most notably helping to codify the Blu-ray standard. If something’s going wrong on a spaceship odds are good that you’ll want an electrical engineer.
Bruce Dickinson, lead singer in Iron Maiden, can fly planes. He’d be my first choice. And Till Lindemann of Ramstein is a pyrotechnician or something. He could probably figure things out if there were an emergency.
Then there’s Buckethead. It’s probably his spaceship to begin with.
Professor Brian Cox of the band Dream
I’m not sure how much use a particle physicist would be on a malfunctioning spaceship?
“well you see, all of our particles are rapidly accelerating towards the ground,”
Well I wasnt aware of anyone else who is also a musician. At he would have interesting facts to tell.
You don’t mention living. Can we have one who passed away. I would say freddy mercury because he would get flash to save every one of us.
Iirc Brian May has a PhD in astrophysics and John Deacon had an engineering degree of some sort.
David Bowie so he can contact ground control.
Grace Slick and the rest of that band, i.e. starship crew.
Intergalactic Touring Band, you get the idea.
One of the guys from that band Limozeen, they turned their tourbus into a space machine.
James Hetfield. “Are we going to die?” “YEAH!”
Doesn’t really fit the requirements but actor/singer/guitarist
DavidPeter Capaldi probably still has his old sonic screwdriver tucked in a pocket just in case.Peter
Yes I don’t know what happened there, fixing it!
Chris Hadfield?
Which major musical group is he a part of?
Not part of a musical group, but he does appear to be a musician:
Chris Austin Hadfield (born August 29, 1959) is a Canadian retired astronaut, engineer, fighter pilot, musician, and writer.
During his free time on Expedition 35, Hadfield recorded music for an album, using the Larrivée Parlor guitar previously brought to the ISS.
His collaboration with Ed Robertson of Barenaked Ladies and the Wexford Gleeks, Is Somebody Singing?—sometimes shortened I.S.S.—was aired on the CBC Radio program Q and released by CBC Music online on February 8, 2013.
Hadfield has been credited musically on his brother Dave Hadfield’s albums.
Oh, thank you! I knew he did a cover of Space Oddity, but hadn’t heard of his professional musical endeavors
Ok Go. For some reason I think they might be able to save us.
Surely at least one random person is a mechanical engineer or something. I wouldn’t be able to make a good guess, though.
One or two of the members of Queen?
