"Ground control to Major Tom... Ground control to Major Tom... Take your protein pills and put your helmets on... 10.. 9.. 8.. 7.. 6.. 5.. 4.. 3.. Commencing countdown, engines on... 2... Check ignition and may God's love be with you... 1... This is Ground control to Major Tom, you've really made the grade, and the papers want to know who's shirts you wear. Now it's time to leave tha capsule if you dare.
This is Major Tom to Ground control; I'm stepping through the door, and I'm floating in a most peculiar way, and the stars look very different today, for here am I sitting in a tin can. Far above the world. Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do. Goin' past one hunred thousand miles, I'm feeling very skilled and I think my spaceship knows which way to go. Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows. Ground control to Major Tom, your circuits dead, there's something wrong, can you hear me Major Tom, can you hear me Major Tom, can you hear me Major Tom, can you hear me..."
