    You don’t mention living. Can we have one who passed away. I would say freddy mercury because he would get flash to save every one of us.

      Iirc Brian May has a PhD in astrophysics and John Deacon had an engineering degree of some sort.

    Brian May, the guitarist for Queen has a PhD degree in astrophysics. He might not be able to help fix the issue in the spaceship, but I assume would be able to explain why the issue is happening and I hope could also do the guitar solo to brighton rock to distract from the problem.

    Brian May would be a good bet with his PhD in Astrophysics.

    Bruce Dickinson, lead singer in Iron Maiden, can fly planes. He’d be my first choice. And Till Lindemann of Ramstein is a pyrotechnician or something. He could probably figure things out if there were an emergency.

    Then there’s Buckethead. It’s probably his spaceship to begin with.

    James Williamson of the Stooges became an electrical engineer, working at AMD and then became VP of technical standards at Sony, most notably helping to codify the Blu-ray standard. If something’s going wrong on a spaceship odds are good that you’ll want an electrical engineer.

      I’m not sure how much use a particle physicist would be on a malfunctioning spaceship?

    Dexter Holland of the Offspring would be pretty high on the list. He has a PhD in molecular biology and is also a licensed pilot.

    David Bowie so he can contact ground control.

    Grace Slick and the rest of that band, i.e. starship crew.

    Intergalactic Touring Band, you get the idea.

    Doesn’t really fit the requirements but actor/singer/guitarist David Peter Capaldi probably still has his old sonic screwdriver tucked in a pocket just in case.
