'Sleeping Satellite' - by Tasmin Archer

Listen to the words - it's actually about the Apollo Moonshots, and questions whether we went there too soon - whether the impetus was lost due to doing it as a race, then losing interest once the race was won, Criticism for the money/resources wasted, etc.....

"I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight"

"Did we fly to the moon too soon?
did we squander the chance,
in the rush of a race?"

"Have we lost what it takes to advance?
have we peaked too soon?"

"...and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of man's greatest adventure"
