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 headbang 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?
