Know what, Algae…? Great as this list is, I can’t help but feel there’s on song missing… Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit in the Sky”…
Now, while Norman wasn’t really referring to space travel in this ‘one-hit wonder’, it soared to Number One in the UK charts the day that Apollo 13 landed the first man (or two!) on the moon… so, I’m sure for all us ex-pat Brits, ever since then the ‘spirit’ the song was referring to was the ‘spirit’ of Apollo 13. Now, I don’t want to just whinge about it… so here it is… saving you the trouble of looking it up!
There! Now your list is complete! 😀

Well I did consider Spirit in the sky but thought not for the reasons you gave. There were many I could have also included.
As a bit of trivia Space Oddity, was released the week before the moon landing.
