Mission To Mars
Countdown is commencing
Pretty soon I'll be saying "Goodbye Earth"
A rocket ride on a bucking bronc
At 17,000 miles an hour
It's only seven months to Mars
Give or take, a light-year or two (or three)
And I wanna, I wanna be an astronaut
I wanna, I wanna, wanna
Starting lift-off procedures
All systems standing by, over
Over, over
Blast-off, I'm on my way
I'm a shooting star, a man on a mission
I hang with the man on the moon, I'll be there soon
A man on a mission to Mars
I head bang on the gangway
Say my prayers, cross my heart and hope to die
Open a window for the Seven Sisters of Pleiades
Hello, ladies (hello, Moon Man)
300 million miles to Mars
It doesn't seem so far away (yes, it does)
And I wanna, I wanna be an astronaut
I wanna, I wanna, wanna
Starting landing procedures
All systems standing by
Over, over
Blast-off, I'm on my way
I'm a shooting star, a man on a mission
I hang with the man on the moon, I'll be there soon
A man on a mission to Mars
Blast-off, I'm on my way
I'm a shooting star, a man on a mission
I hang with the man on the moon, I'll be there soon
I'm a man on a mission to Mars
Commander, is there any evidence of prior civilization on the surface?
Utopia, roger
I see debris and rubbish everywhere that's covered in dust
There's an abandoned spacecraft buried 1-3-0, 200 meters
Standby
Everything's covered in rust, and yet no signs of life, at least not yet
Why don't we just return to Earth and let it rust in peace out here?
Utopia, I have seen to have found a time capsule of some sort
It appears to have words on it
What does it say?
Commander? Commander?
The objective is compromised, we have to go now
Initiating start up sequence, three minutes to lift off
We don't have three minutes
Roger, powering up generators
Emergency, urgent
This is a message from Mars
Request permission to return to Earth, over
Emergency, urgent! This is a message... They're not hearing us
Request permission to return to Earth
This is Space Force Control, permission to return to Earth is denied
Proceed a warp speed to Jupiter
No, no! This is a message from Mars
Engaging off, all engines go, we must return to Earth, urgent, over
Starship Utopia, Earth has been vaporized
But we have found a new way, and you sure are the first in line
Starting crash landing procedures
All systems standing by, over
Over
Over?
Mission failure
Mission failure
