Aah! Lets think of space.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then let’s begin..
High, way up high.. The Human Race
It’s time for me to start the story..


On a trail.. It’s a Hansel and Gretel adventure,
and so much more of the breadcrumb science,
The reliance - to leave the shore
of humanity in state of war.


We take the necessary steps to stamp
our very essence of the electric force that created 
our lust for progress whipping post
(Of the Humanity crisis - this, our ghost)



To the chorus..


Aldrin, Collins, Armstrong.. Apollo throng
Gagarin flight by Russian might, 
and up and coming 
China
Ocean Liner
The powers combined -
our ‘Captain Planet’ crew to man it..



Sail to the stars..
Disco to Space!
Leave the Earth and fly to the sky,
To win the race,
Build the Mars base,
Who’s in for Disco Space Time?


Me..
And me…


So, my friend, your ear I’ll bend
As I try not to lie or condescend..
It’s fiction and fact, this space abstract -
A tale of technology - missions to Mars and back..



Second chorus:
To the furthest reaches
Those astronomic creatures; preachers..
teach us all we need to know..


To fly, rocket ship,
Our microchip - pilot the path through starlight..
Console - neon hue..
Here’s what we do -
Galactic Mars adventure!



NASA (Jack King): “10.. 9.. We have ignition sequence start..”
Kronkite: “The men in the mission control centre at Houston were ready..”
Astronauts:  “He says we’re looking good!”
*cry of elation*

Kronkite:  “..Fire up the third stage engine.. 
Borman: (This one’ll be the third stage cutoff)
Kronkite: “..Fly the Astronauts up.. Break them free of Earth’s orbit - 
Send them off to where no man has ever gone!”

*Space Disco Time*
King: Four.. The Engines are on.. Three.. 
Nixon: Gee, you look great!
Anders: Whoaa.. Yes!
*Hyperspace warp*
