the lyric songs from Space Camp

After searching, I found out that the song "How Many Times" is actually "Forever Man" by Eric Clapton. But since I can't remember a single word in another song I'm looking for in the movie, I was hoping someone could help. The song plays right at the end of the scene where Tish Ambrosei (Kelly Preston) is talking to Kathryn Fairly (Lea Thompson) in the girls' dorm. Here, I found some quotes from that scene:
Tish: "I'm going to write my essay on finding creatures that exist on chemicals beside carbon and oxygen."
Kathryn: "You should visit my high school."
Anyway, does anyone know the name of the song?

I took a closer look at the credits when I rented the movie again. Yeah, it's by Dier Straits. I still appreciate your help though. Thanks.

The song is actually off the worlds 1st biggest selling compact disk ever in the worlds CD history back in 1985. They are the Dire Straights from England in the UK, and the song was called the Walk Of Life, and taken off the record breaking CD album Brothers In Arms.

In simple terms, Brothers In arms was the worlds 1st album to sell millions and millions of CD's. Prior to this album compact disks were still in question as to whether they would be popular media format. Cassette and Vinyl up until this realse were still the preffered way of buying music.

Brothers In Arms is in the records books now thanks to the CD huge sale boosts. And is still to this day considerd to be one of the reasons why CDs were given such a huge boost in sales in the 1980s.

Happy 25th Birthday Compact Disk !!
