Starfield's Sky Children Touch Down on Moon

The music of Starfield is crucial for creating the game's deep, engaging world. One of its most memorable compositions has now achieved something extraordinary—literally reaching new heights. Composer Inon Zur recently revealed that his collaborative track with Imagine Dragons, "Children of the Sky," was part of a historic lunar mission, physically sent to the Moon.

The song began its journey to space in late February, carried aboard the Athena lunar lander. This groundbreaking moment represented a powerful fusion of art, technology, and cosmic discovery, taking the Starfield soundtrack to a whole new realm.

Reflecting on the event, Inon Zur described it as a profoundly moving and unforgettable experience. Watching the rocket launch, knowing "Children of the Sky" was on board, was a milestone for him and everyone involved.

It was an incredibly emotional and thrilling moment—to see a rocket carrying our song 'Children of the Sky' launch into space.

He shared the moment with key contributors who helped bring the collaboration to life, such as Jürgen Grebner, former international division head of Universal Music, and Imagine Dragons' manager, Mac Reynolds. Together, they witnessed the historic lunar mission, celebrating a landmark achievement for music and space exploration alike.

"Children of the Sky," part of Starfield's original score, echoes humanity's yearning for the cosmos and the immensity of space—a central theme in the game. By sending the track to the Moon, the creators symbolically connected science fiction with real-world exploration, celebrating our shared drive to discover the unknown.

This project not only showcases music’s ability to cross all boundaries but also points to the increasing collaboration between entertainment and space science. For Starfield fans, it brings another dimension of depth to the game's already compelling story and artistic vision.

The inclusion of "Children of the Sky" in a Moon mission stands as proof of the powerful teamwork behind its creation. From Inon Zur’s moving composition to Imagine Dragons' vibrant performance, the track unites talent and imagination. Its voyage to the Moon reminds us how creative works can fuel pioneering human endeavors.
