Command all stations
check all decks
kiss your wives goodbye and give your children respects
put on your helmet
equip your gear
it's time to go in now... have no fear!

I grip the handles of my seat, I feel the dangle of my feet

I close my eyes and feel my sweat reside and whisper to me inside this suit
BLAST OFF!
THE PRESSURE TO MUCH!
MY BODY CAN"T EVEN FEEL NUMB!
my eyes are shut not from my willing
... but in a few seconds I feel a float
my lids creek open
and my head roams
and through the small glass window I have been revealed
it's full of stars...
