    We're leavin' together
    But still it's farewell
    And maybe we'll come back
    To Earth, who can tell?
    I guess there is no one to blame
    We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
    Will things ever be the same again?
    … It's the final countdown
    The final countdown
    … Oh
    We're headin' for Venus (Venus)
    And still we stand tall
    'Cause maybe they've seen us
    And welcome us all, yeah
    With so many light years to go
    And things to be found (to be found)
    I'm sure that we all miss her so
    … It's the final countdown
    The final countdown
    The final countdown (final countdown)
    (Oh)
    Oh
    … The final countdown, oh
    … It's the final countdown
    The final countdown
    The final countdown (final countdown)
    (Oh)
    … It's the final countdown
    We're leavin' together
    (The final countdown)
    We'll all miss her so
    It's the final countdown (final countdown)
    (Oh)
    It's the final countdown
    Yeah

    I like the Rush song better

    Coming up on 45 minute point in our countdown
    Everything going smoothly
    T-minus 45 minutes and counting
    Coming up on t-minus 40 minutes
    T-minus 40 minutes and counting
    This is Shuttle launch control
    Lit up with anticipation
    We arrive at the launching site
    The sky is still dark, nearing dawn
    On the Florida coastline
    Circling choppers slash the night
    With roving searchlight beams
    This magic day when super-science
    Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams
    We have an AEO abort go for test
    Tester says they are go for launch
    At the present time we know of no major problems as we enter this final hold
    Floodlit in the hazy distance
    The star of this unearthly show
    Venting vapours, like the breath
    Of a sleeping white dragon
    Crackling speakers, voices tense
    Resume the final count
    All systems check, T minus nine
    As the sun and the drama start to mount
    The air is charged
    A humid, motionless mass
    The crowds and the cameras
    The cars full of spectators pass
    Excitement so thick you could cut it with a knife
    Technology high, on the leading edge of life
    (T minus 27 seconds
    We have gone to redundant sequencers start
    T minus 20 seconds and counting
    T minus 15, 14, 13
    T minus ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four
    We have rocket main engine start
    We have main engine start
    We have liftoff)
    The earth beneath us starts to tremble
    With the spreading of a low black cloud
    A thunderous roar shakes the air
    Like the whole world exploding
    Scorching blast of golden fire
    As it slowly leaves the ground
    Tears away with a mighty force
    The air is shattered by the awesome sound
    (T plus 30 seconds, plus 35
    Columbia, Houston you are go at 40)
    Excitement so thick
    You could cut it with a knife
    Technology high, on the leading edge of life
    Like a pillar of cloud, the smoke lingers
    High in the air
    In fascination with the eyes of the world
    We stare...
    (Columbia is now turning towards
    Its precise window in space for main engine cutoff
    ... 40 seconds
    Columbia now 39 nautical miles altitude
    42 nautical miles downrange
    Columbia you are looking a little hot and all your calls will be a little early
    Young and Crippen really moving out now
    Velocity now reading 6200 feet per second
    What a view, what a view
    Glad you are enjoying it
    G800 to LOS
    Columbia Houston, we have 40 seconds to LOS
    You're looking good burning over the hill,
    We will see you in Madrid and we enjoyed the music
    Bob thank you
    We enjoyed it, just wanted to share some with you.
