Transcript

25 seconds we have to take time for a number of 29 adults internal locations in Einstein's world. In the year 1987, at the John F. Kennedy Space Center, NASA launched the last of America's deep space probes.

The payload perched on the nose cone of the messy rocket was a one-man exploration vessel Ranger 3 aboard this compact starship Alone astronaut Captain William Buck Rogers was to experience cosmic forces beyond all comprehension an awesome brush of death In the wake of an eye support systems were frozen by temperatures beyond imagination

imagination, Ranger 3 was blown out of its planned trajectory into an orbit a thousand times more of us, an orbit which was to return the ship full circle to its point of origin, its mother Earth, not in five months, but in five hundred years.

For five hundred years, Buck Rogers drifted through a world in which reality and fantasy merged into a timeless dream. Oh, I've known far beyond my time What am I hutching my mind for some dreams to reveal?

What thoughts are fantasy? What memories read this life of mine Long before this time What was there who cared to make it? Is it thought the things that I've seen? Is it my life or just something I've dreamed?
