Benson, Arizona
Frankly, you're all missing the boat. One the classic SF, space related songs is Benson, Arizona the final theme song of the classic SF movie parody Dark Star. As the lyrics go...
Quote:
Benson, Arizona, cool blue breeze through my hair,
My body roams the Galaxy, my heart longs to be there.
Benson, Arizona, the same stars in the sky.
But they were so much brighter when we watched them, You and I.

Benson is actually a small, "don't blink or you'll miss it" town just off I-10 southeast of Tucson. I've been there, (and posed for a photo under the exit sign). The landscape is typical desert. I have to imagine the stars at night are a sight, being away from cities and their light pollution.
