Re: Nature Sounds
*While I work, I always listen to something on CD; usually classical music. But lately I've been craving the sounds of a thunderstorm and rain. When I lived in the Midwest (born and raised there), I could feel a tension of sorts arising automatically within, coinciding with the buildup of the thunderclouds; when the thunder and lightning began, the inner tension was released with the storm's unleashing. Now I live here, in the desert Southwest, and we've had no rain for MONTHS. Nothing, nada, kaput. I had a rain and thunder cassette tape years ago; lost it, so this past week replaced it with a CD. My god IT'S WONDERFUL! 
Next best thing to the real thing.
You know, if I were on a Mars mission or going as a settler or colonist, I'd want nature sounds available to me. Birds singing, thunderstorm, ocean waves. Might even be wise to make some other soundtracks available, such as that of a steady flow of traffic in a busy city.

Re: Nature Sounds
Quite wonderful, Cindy. And these sounds could be transmitted directly from Earth in realtime (the delay in this case, not a problem) for "updating" and/or new sequences recorded, because who wants to be able to anticipate when e.g. the "thunder" happens, each time...?
