ideas of history/origins of Apollo Space program samples in electronic dance music?

any ideas of history/origins of Apollo Space program samples in electronic dance music? (Q via maillist, pls help) http://tinyurl.com/cdx84e

I'm on a maillist which discusses EDM (electronic dance music) and one of the members/list managers, Graham St John (an Australian scholar who has compiled a few books on EDM) has asked about origins of samples from the Apollo Space mission in music. he's asking specifically about dance related music but the discussion has brought up Sun Ra's name. so I was wondering if anyone here knows of examples/history along hip hop / funk /soul / electro (80s, not 2000s) & electronic dance music lines which might help plot the history deeper? (the discussion then went onto alien imagery at some psytrance events but that's another topic)

here's the initial request from Graham St John :
I'm attempting to trace the appeal of Apollo Space Program dialogue
in EDM. I've been tracing this development in Goa/psytrance to Astral
Projection and and I don't really go further back than Juno Reactor,
but I'd be surprised if Apollo mission dialogue was not sampled by
Detroit techno artists in the eighties, with the use or repurposing of
the new audio devices roughly coinciding it seems with NASAs launch of
the first African American (male) into space in 1983 (and probably a
range of influential arcade games). This was of course after the
wholly white Apollo Program had finished.

Appreciated if anyone has insights on this or on the presence of such
dialogue in other EDM genres such as electro, euro-trance, trancecore,
hardhouse and progressive trance.

I've been asking on twitter, facebook, stealth mag board and the oldskool/hyperreal maillist. so far I've only had these responses :

I might be mistaken, but wouldn't the "roger copy" sample in "helter
skelter" by meat beat manifesto fall under this umbrella? it's from
'89.

Dickie Goodman : from
DICKIE GOODMAN: WE'VE SPOTTED THE SHARK AGAIN - The story of a novelty recording artist whose music arguably was the first "sampled" recordings ever

He still made "break-in" records, keeping an eye for a potential topic to skewer - the Batman television series ("Batman and His Grandmother,") the Apollo space mission ("Luna Trip"), or campus unrest ("On Campus"). Ever since the days of "The Flying Saucer," Goodman always resolved to use the original fragments of songs, eschewing cover versions or "sound-alikes" unless absolutely necessary. "There was a time in the 1950's," said Jon Goodman, "where it would be more acceptable to play the remakes done by white people. The subliminal effects were much greater - people were listening to records by artists they would not have heard before on white radio."

In fact, Goodman's snippet records may have been the rock equivalent of the compositions of John Cage, David Tudor and George Rochberg - using tape recorders and phonograph records as instruments, slicing up reel-to-reel tapes and resplicing them at random; creating new recordings from the fragments of old ones.

if I hear of more I'll pass them on. might even go through some of my early dance parties / late 80s music in case there's something there.
