The Race For Space |
We meet in an hour of change and challenge |
In a decade of hope and fear |
In an age of both knowledge and ignorance |
The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds |
The eyes of the world are now looking to space |
To the moon, and to the planets beyond |
And we have vowed |
That we shall not see it governed |
By a hostile flag of conquest |
But by a banner of freedom and peace |
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things |
Not because they are easy, but because they are hard |
Many years ago, Great British explorer George Mallory |
Who was to die on Mount Everest |
Was asked 'why did he want to climb it?' |
He said 'because it is there' |
Well space is there and we’re going to climb it |
And the moon and the planets are there |
And new hopes for knowledge and peace are there |
And therefore as we set sail we ask God’s blessing |
On the most hazardous, and dangerous, and greatest adventure |
On which man has ever embarked |
Thank you |
