Rise
up and seize the day
Blue sky we're on our way
You know it
All systems set to go
This is the big show
Believe it
Feel
that pressure
Break through the atmosphere
Then
we'll be gone gone gone
Light
it up let's get this
Show on the road
Slingshot
to outer space
Here comes the human race
We want it
No one has ever flown
Into the great unknown
We need it
Feel
that pressure
Break through the atmosphere
Then
we'll be gone gone gone
Light
it up let's get this
Show on the road
Feel
that pressure
Break through the atmosphere
Then
we'll be gone gone gone
Light it up let's get
This show
Light it up let's
Get this show
Light it up let's get this
Show on the road
Interpretation
Overture
The story of the first manned mission to Mars begins with words of hope, as mankind looks to the stars as hope for the human race. Overcrowding, diminishing resources, climate change, and the human spirit of exploration provide the motivation to go on this mission.
Gone Gone Gone
The opening scene is told from the perspective of the first officer, but reflects the thoughts of all the crew. The rocket is on the launch pad with the world watching live on television and streaming media. The anticipation builds into excitement as the rocket ascends into the clear blue sky before breaking out of the atmosphere into orbit. Lets go!
