Space Explorers

Lifting off from Earth with a blast The first manned mission to Mars at last Moving past red dwarfs real fast With neutron stars going past Celestial fireworks of a supernova in full view As through the Milky Way at warp speed we flew Mars would become our space base The dawn of a new race to space Earth would remain the galactic jewel A hub for supplies and to refuel The journey to Mars took almost a (Earth) year Zooming by pulsars and asteroids to get there With many more worlds to explore Going where no man had gone before On a quest to find alien life forms and unravel a mystery that has lasted for eons Perhaps we'll find them right there on Mars Or somewhere among the myriad of stars It was just like on Star Trek Traveling through this awesome universe But captain Kirk was not on deck And Scottie couldn't beam us up yet
