Of course, we won't be going to the moon again until after we're done occupying Iraq and being broke from it, so I fully expect my aged grandchildren to one day view the launch on whatever the late-21st-century version of YouTube will be.

China'll get there first, probly

More than likely, yeah.

I'm really torn by this. A big part of me (and any sentient human, I suspect) wants to go exploring other worlds. Another big part of me is nervous about Teh Evil Corporations raping a poor unsuspecting planet which never did anyone no harm. Should we just leave Mars the fuck alone? I know it'll happen eventually though.

I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite
Did we fly to the moon too soon
did we squander the chance
in the rush of the race
the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of man's greatest adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagle's flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite
have we lost what it takes to advance?
have we peaked too soon?
if the world is so green
then why does it scream under a blue moon
we wonder why
If the earth's sacrificed
for the price of it's greatest treasure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagle's flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite
and when we shoot for the stars
what a giant step
have we got what it takes
to carry the weight of this concept
or pass it by like a shot in the dark
miss the mark with a sense of adventure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagle's flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite
