[00:46.95] Lit up with anticipation
[00:51.02] We arrive at the launching site
[00:53.98] The sky is still dark, nearing dawn
[00:57.77] On the Florida coastline
[01:01.27] Circling choppers slash the night
[01:05.00] With roving searchlight beams
[01:08.14] This magic day when super-science
[01:11.83] Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams
[01:30.62] Floodlit in the hazy distance
[01:33.63] The star of this unearthly show
[01:37.19] Venting vapours, like the breath
[01:40.85] Of a sleeping white dragon
[01:44.43] Crackling speakers, voices tense
[01:48.14] Resume the final count
[01:51.52] All systems check, T minus nine
[01:55.46] As the sun and the drama start to mount
[02:14.00] The air is charged
[02:17.51] A humid, motionless mass
[02:21.17] The crowds and the cameras
[02:24.58] The cars full of spectators pass
[02:28.22] Excitement so thick you could cut it with a knife
[02:35.49] Technology...high, on the leading edge of life
[03:18.42] The earth beneath us starts to tremble
[03:22.08] With the spreading of a low black cloud
[03:25.59] A thunderous roar shakes the air
[03:28.95] Like the whole world exploding
[03:32.84] Scorching blast of golden fire
[03:36.30] As it slowly leaves the ground
[03:40.00] Tears away with a mighty force
[03:43.53] The air is shattered by the awesome sound
[04:01.85] Excitement so thick you could cut it with a knife
[04:09.02] Technology...high, on the leading edge of life
[04:16.39] Like a pillar of cloud
[04:19.76] The smoke lingers high in the air
[04:23.59] In fascination
[04:27.09] With the eyes of the world
[04:28.77] We stare...
