​

​​​Leaving our Earth's orbit

Heading for the Moon

A backward glance and photographs

And hopes they'll return soon

Four astronauts go boldly

To our world's satellite

Seeking out the far side

On the edge of night

Bravely facing dangers

As they pave the way

For building there a lunar base

Where Man one day may stay.
