On Sept. 28, Col. Nick Hague will take off as the first Guardian (member of the Space Force) sent to space. This mission, known as SpaceX Crew-9, will be overseen by NASA with the protection of the Space Force — the recently formed U.S. military branch. Alongside Space Force flags and patches, Hague will be bringing a special piece of sheet music with Teachenor’s name listed as composer. While Teachenor remains earthbound, this copy of his work will travel beyond. When it returns, Teachenor will have a priceless intergalactic souvenir.
