Ready, Fire, Aim: Fly Me to the Moon
The song "Fly Me to the Moon", originally titled "In Other Words", was written in 1954 by Bart Howard. The lyrics include:
Fly me to the moon, Let me play among the stars, Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars. In other words, baby, kiss me…The song was written in just 20 minutes, with a simple message: Hold my hand.
Although the idea of flying to the moon was not possible in 1954, it became a reality 15 years later during the Apollo space program.
Author's summary: Song inspiration from space travel dreams.
- The song's lyrics are partially silly, as there is no "spring" on Jupiter and Mars.
- Hand-holding and kissing are real and more affordable than space travel.
