It was late in Sixty-nine
When we landed that first time
Man, I still remember how it felt to see it.
And it wasn’t that long then
We were on the moon again
And you could feel yourself beginning to believe it.
Then once more and then again
We pushed out the reach of man
Each time up, another set of hero’s footprints.
But those short trips were all we made
Somehow our dream it got waylaid
And not a person live or dead has been up there since.
And what was so hard-won has been abandoned
Our journey to the stars got off the track.
But we’ll return someday to claim
What we once won as our domain
We’re goin’ back, I swear to God we’re goin’ back!
One small step was all we took
Just enough to have a look
A beginning, just a glimmer of man’s powers
But our first step on that road
Has been our last and it has showed
That we are governed by the weak-kneed and the cowards.
Nothing much up there they say
Don’t know how we’ll make it pay
We could use that dough to help us stay elected.
But as billions waste away
We all come nearer to the day
When there won’t be enough resources to correct it.
We must get us off this fragile little planet
Before we blow ourselves to hell and back.
We’re gonna make it plain,
We’ll no more play this waiting game
We’re goin’ back, I swear to God we’re goin’ back!
Well, we’re still not out in space
And the whole damn human race
Sits and dawdles with our eggs all in one basket.
We’ve already bought the tools
How long will we stay Earthbound fools?
That is the question, and I think its time we ask it.
Yes, we still haven’t lost that sense of wonder
This won’t become a human cul-de-sac.
We will see that nothing mars
Our rightful place among the stars
We’re goin’ back, I swear to God we’re goin’ back!
For this adventure never will be finished
We’ll make up for the spine the others lack
Take it money, lives or pain,
What we once lost we will regain!
We’re goin’ back, I swear to God we’re goin’ back!
We’re goin’ back, I swear to God we’re goin’ back!
shit i wasnt looking can they come back and do it again sorry

Beautiful. I can’t believe humanity is coming back to the Moon at last. Amid all the chaos and negativity in the news cycle, it’s great to see something positive and inspiring for once.

Seeing a rocket spew plumes of exhaust then vanish into a glowing red dot in the sky is oddly beautiful.

I got chills watching this in 2026. I wonder how people watching stuff like this in the 60s felt.
