A rocket engine array of nine
Belches demons of fiery orange
One engine commanding the center
Eight more along the circumference
The astronauts aboard the command module
They activate the third and final stage
In order to escape low-Earth orbit
To head for the big gray ball nearby
Without bureaucratic tape involved
For the first time in human history
Over the course of two days
These courageous astronauts
They prepare for the main event
To create footprints on the lunar surface
The first time in almost half a century
The live streams are available worldwide
Millions stand and cheer
For humanity has returned to stay
Within the Sea of Tranquility
The lunar lander touches the grayish surface
Less than two hundred yards from the Eagle
The lead astronaut descends the ladder
When they hop off the bottom rung
To form a small dust cloud upon impact
Millions of people burst into an outcry
Another leap for mankind
Has been achieved
Within five years of this remarkable day
The first lunar colony is established
Hundreds vow to emigrate from Earth
While thousands more prepare
For another exciting cosmic adventure
The journey to colonize Mars
With the rebirth of large spacecraft
These massive beasts of carbon fiber
Besides the other cutting edge materials
Will form a bridge between celestial neighbors
Forget about only thinking about Earth
Humanity is meant to go multi-planetary
Our destiny is to colonize the stars
Because we are explorers by intuition
