The six member crew of space shuttle Discovery was woken up to the sounds of The Cure on Sunday.
The family of Mission expert Piers Sellers requested the song to wake the astronauts on their last complete day in space.

Discovery's astronauts and mission managers now say a hydraulic power unit with a drip checked out okay Sunday morning, clearing the shuttle to return to Earth.
