NASA Orion Space Launch_  by [Olivia B. Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Dec 12, 2014 4:46 PM UTC  by [Olivia B. Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Dec 12, 2014 4:46 PM UTC Interns at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have produced a music video parody of Meghan Trainor’s hit “All About That Bass,” dubbing it “All About That Space,” singing the refrain “I’m all about that space / ‘Bout that space, space travel.” The mission of the music video is to “keep up the excitement about the successful first flight of NASA’s Orion Spacecraft” [last week](http://time.com/3619066/orion-launch-livestream-rescheduled-friday-nasa/), which is designed for human spaceflight, and maybe one day, [trips to the moon or Mars](http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/06/science/nasa-orion-spacecraft-lifts-off-into-orbit.html). More sample lyrics: --- > “” --- ## Transcript Four, three, two, one. And lift off at dawn. The dawn of Orion. Orion. And a new era of American space exploration. Got engine control in the first stage. And. Passing 25 seconds. Velocity 1341 feet per second. Passing 31 seconds still looking good. Good in control. Good chamber pressure in all three boosters in the full power mode. 40 seconds in. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3631588/nasa-all-about-that-space/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3631588/nasa-all-about-that-space/"},"headline":"NASA Interns Couldn't Help But Make an 'All About That Space' Parody","datePublished":"2014-12-12T16:46:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-01T09:02:17.663Z","description":"These interns are all about that","url":"https://time.com/3631588/nasa-all-about-that-space/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Science topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt161246317dba40c5/69876e71cd6848316b098960/screen-shot-2014-12-12-at-10-50-18-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
