[id:$00000000] [ar:Peter Schilling] [ti:Major Tom ] [by:] [hash:b37eb3c7b54d9fb93ab842ef7580ae06] [al:] [sign:] [qq:] [total:251277] [offset:0] [00:18.19]Standing there alone, [00:19.80]the ship is waiting. [00:21.26]All systems are go. [00:22.88]"Are you sure?" [00:24.06]Control is not convinced, [00:25.70]but the computer [00:27.06]has the evidence. [00:28.75]No need to abort. [00:32.09]The countdown starts. [00:35.84]Watching in a trance, [00:37.39]the crew is certain. [00:38.70]Nothing left to chance, [00:40.55]all is working. [00:41.77]Trying to relax [00:43.37]up in the capsule [00:44.64]"Send me up a drink." [00:46.76]jokes Major Tom. [00:49.74]The count goes on... [00:53.47]4, 3, 2, 1 [00:56.28]Earth below us [00:59.13]drifting, falling. [01:02.04]Floating weightless [01:04.94]calling, calling home... [01:20.05]Second stage is cut. [01:21.72]We're now in orbit. [01:22.86]Stabilizers up, [01:24.64]runnning perfect. [01:26.03]Starting to collect [01:27.45]requested data. [01:28.95]"What will it affect [01:30.82]when all is done?" [01:33.85]thinks Major Tom. [01:37.80]Back at ground control, [01:39.33]there is a problem. [01:40.69]"Go to rockets full." [01:42.34]Not responding. [01:43.49]"Hello Major Tom. [01:45.27]Are you receiving? [01:46.43]Turn the thrusters on. [01:48.43]We're standing by." [01:51.54]There's no reply. [01:55.33]4, 3, 2, 1 [01:58.03]Earth below us [02:00.94]drifting, falling. [02:03.85]Floating weightless [02:06.61]calling, calling home... [02:24.95]Across the stratosphere, [02:26.35]a final message: [02:27.88]"Give my wife my love." [02:30.23]Then nothing more. [02:39.54]Far beneath the ship, [02:41.19]the world is mourning. [02:42.69]They don't realize [02:44.26]he's alive. [02:45.50]No one understands, [02:47.01]but Major Tom sees. [02:48.32]"Now the light commands [02:50.47]this is my home, [02:53.73]I'm coming home." [03:00.19]Earth below us [03:02.96]drifting, falling. [03:05.94]Floating weightless [03:08.64]coming home... [03:11.92]Earth below us [03:14.53]drifting, falling. [03:17.45]Floating weightless [03:20.45]coming, coming [03:35.54]home... [03:41.41]home.....
