Voyage to Mars

On my voyage to Mars Past the stars For you In cosmic bazaars And quasars I'll find you there All systems check on launch pad Pressurized module propulsion guidance and telemetry Gyros Ignition takeoff Thrust and throttle reaching escape velocity at supersonic speed Coordinates of transponder comm data into the radio spectrum Receiving signals from my reconnaissance sensor probes On my voyage to Mars Past the stars For you! Into cosmic bazaars And quasars I'll find you there! Traversing the universe in my space capsule Into the gravitational vortex waves of the red planet; The Doppler shift and parallax; My vector trajectory to establish orbit Then down in angle of descent Igniting afterburners for touchdown on the LZ To make contact with you in the northern quadrant
