Apollo One
Exploring Space Dreams: Apollo One's Test Journey
Lyrics
Test away Apollo One
Conducting tests on Apollo One
N.A.S.A. is away with Apollo One
N.A.S.A. is involved in the testing of Apollo One
Fare thee well, don't stop until it's done
Farewell message, urging to continue until the testing is complete
They are testing the crew of Apollo One
Testing involves evaluating the crew of Apollo One
Plucked from the finest of flight schools regaled
Selection of astronauts from prestigious flight schools
From Mitchell, Grand Rapids, and Texas they hailed
Astronauts are from Mitchell, Grand Rapids, and Texas
Grissom and Chaffee and Ed White unveiled
Introduction of astronauts Grissom, Chaffee, and Ed White
As the ones to the fly of Apollo One
Identifying them as the crew for Apollo One
Sputnik surprised us when it flew overhead
Reflection on Sputnik and Yuri's achievements
Yuri then beat us, it filled us with dread
Yuri's success creates concern and fear
But Shepard and Glenn and Mercury led
Mention of Shepard, Glenn, and Mercury as pioneers
To the test of the crew of Apollo One
Linking past achievements to the current test of Apollo One
Gemini marched on from Mercury
Transition from Gemini to Mercury
Strategically building technology
Strategic development of technology during Gemini
All were completed successfully
Successful completion of all tasks
They are testing the crew of Apollo One
Reiteration of testing the crew of Apollo One
The new Saturn Five will be finished up soon
Anticipation of completing the new Saturn Five
We will use propaganda and Disney cartoons
Plan to use propaganda and Disney cartoons
And beat the damn commies with men on the moon
Aim to surpass rival nations, particularly the communists, in moon exploration
They are testing the crew of Apollo One
Continued reference to the testing of the crew of Apollo One
