Here's the first time bagpipes were played in space, aboard the ISS. https://time.com/4104158/international-space-station-bagpipe/ https://time.com/4104158/international-space-station-bagpipe... The twist here is that the astronaut was honoring a good friend of mine after he'd died. My buddy Vic trained the astronauts on medical matters and first aid. He showed my how you can't do CPR in space the normal way, because you'll just push yourself across the room, so there's special stuff like this that they need to be trained in. He gave me the real back-stage tour in Houston, which was incredibly cool. One nifty thing he showed my was how they simulate the communications delay in training. It's remarkably easy and obvious: they just use Tivos.
