Thursday, January 15, 2004 Space Race for the Gold I wrote the lyrics below many years ago to encourage people to ennact another Gold Rush into Space. Today The Corner makes remarks about offering billion dollar prizes for people to reach certain goals in Space. It's an old tool that often works to encourage invention, innovation, and investment. Song There's gold on Mercury and Mars Olympica has diamonds The Moon is built with silver bars and amethyst set by the tons. On Venus there are emeralds and stones of steely blue sapphire The moons of Jupiter have pools of rubies red as molten fire. Gold and gold in virgin veins Await the miner with a pick So find the lodes 'til none remains And pocket opals by the brick. These worlds await to make you rich The ores and minerals are free! For those who get there first and pitch their stakes in vast geology. There's gold on Mercury and Mars Olympica has diamonds The Moon is made of silver bars And amethyst in blocks of tons. posted by Mark Butterworth | 10:19 AM | |
