it's fifty years since sputnik, when the russians shocked the world[00:00:09]
with an orb and two antennae earth would never be the same[00:00:13]
fueling our worst fears that we'd be vulnerable and weak[00:00:19]
if we did not respond in kind, we'd lose the game[00:00:23]
so we got our act together, and explorer one went flying[00:00:28]
but not before the russians sent a dog up into space[00:00:32]
if i said i knew why they thought dogs should fly, i would be lying[00:00:37]
they were caught up in some kind of human race[00:00:42]
a race to the furthest star[00:00:47]
a race to the galaxies above[00:00:52]
if a little bit of fear can go so far[00:00:56]
imagine what a world could do with love[00:01:01]
......[00:01:06]
gagarin took a spin around the globe in 61 and[00:01:14]
he was followed ten months later by an astronaut named glenn[00:01:18]
alexei took a spacewalk, captain kirk, he took our tv[00:01:23]
and i've never been the same since then[00:01:27]
a race to the furthest star[00:01:32]
a race to the galaxies above[00:01:38]
if a little bit of dreaming goes so far[00:01:42]
imagine what a world could do with love[00:01:48]
......[00:01:51]
imagine human footprints on a distant lunar plane[00:01:59]
imagine floating science labs where gravity is gone[00:02:04]
imagine the potential that our species could contain[00:02:09]
if we were drawn to love again[00:02:14]
i heard a scientist declare the world as we know it[00:02:19]
is destined to be swallowed up in some gigantic hole[00:02:23]
and nothing that you do on earth will outlast or survive this[00:02:28]
is there any point in trying to take control?[00:02:33]
just another baby boomer, writing poems[00:02:37]
putting flowers into rifles, hugging trees and singing songs[00:02:42]
and the questions in the air aren't rocket science[00:02:47]
what's the point and where on earth do we belong?[00:02:52]
in our race to the furthest star[00:02:57]
a race to the galaxies above[00:03:02]
if a little bit of vision goes so so far[00:03:07]
imagine what a world could do with love[00:03:12]
