End Apollo
Farewell to Apollo: Echoes of Triumph and Loss
Lyrics
End Apollo, end it,
Expressing the need to conclude the Apollo project
Oh sadness reigns as we end it
Describing a prevailing sense of sadness as the project ends
For the mission is done and the funds don't flow
Indicating that the mission is completed, but funding has ceased
And it's time for us to end it
Stating that it's the appropriate time to terminate the project
I thought I heard our Congress say
Referencing Congress discussing and deciding to end Apollo
End Apollo, end it
Reiterating the call to conclude the Apollo project
They took the taxpayer funding away
Explaining the withdrawal of taxpayer funding for the project
And it's time for us to end it
Affirming that it's time to terminate the project due to funding issues
We beat the Russians, and now we're done
Noting the achievement of surpassing the Russians in space endeavors
End Apollo, end it
Reiterating the call to end the Apollo project
We collected some rocks and we had our fun
Highlighting the successful collection of lunar rocks and the enjoyable experiences during the mission
But it's time for us to end it
Affirming the appropriateness of concluding the project at this stage
Our jobs returned ten-fold to GDP
Emphasizing the positive impact of the Apollo project on job creation and GDP growth
End Apollo, end it
Reiterating the call to end the Apollo project despite its economic benefits
We led a boom advancing technology
Acknowledging the technological advancements achieved during the project
Yet it's time for us to end it
Despite the advancements, underlining the necessity to conclude the project
We built three more mighty Saturn Fives
Highlighting the production of additional Saturn V rockets
End Apollo, end it
Reiterating the call to end the Apollo project and noting the deterioration of unused rockets
They rust away, mocking hungry lives
Describing the neglected Saturn V rockets as symbols of unfulfilled potential
So why is it time to end it?
Posing a question about why it's the right time to end the project despite past achievements
End Apollo, end it,
Repeating the call to end Apollo due to lack of financial support and referencing the saying "No bucks, no Buck Rogers"
End Apollo, end it,
-No bucks, no Buck Rodgers so they say
-And it's time for us to end it
Reaffirming the belief that it's time to conclude the Apollo project
