We were clearly behind in the space race, using everything we could find to make a rocket fly. We hoped to return, falling safely to Earth. Then we would find the Mercury Seven, all who were selected to train and be the first to fly. They dared to explore the new frontier. Freedom first followed by Friendship, with our world in their window.

We found the expansion of humankind to orbit Earth on Mercury road. And we knew the incredible risk when we flew on Mercury road.

We’re moving along, we’re more advanced now. Two-man operation with computer navigation. Discovered the thrill of walking outside. They made the rendezvous and felt the weeks pass by, with our world in their window.

We found the expansion of humankind to new heights across Gemini bridge. We knew the incredible risk when we crossed Gemini bridge.

You know so far away we go in the sky. When you see it with your eyes. So far away we go, you and I.
