The soundtrack of Starfield is renowned for its role in enhancing the game's immersive atmosphere, and one of its standout tracks has now achieved a remarkable milestone—reaching the Moon. Composer Inon Zur, along with the band Imagine Dragons, co-created the song "Children of the Sky," which was recently sent to the lunar surface on the Athena lunar lander at the end of February. This groundbreaking event represents a unique blend of art, technology, and space exploration, taking the Starfield soundtrack to unprecedented heights.
Inon Zur shared his profound emotions and excitement about the experience, describing it as deeply moving and unforgettable. The sight of the rocket launching with "Children of the Sky" aboard was a momentous occasion for him and the team involved in the project.
