Fly Me To The Moon … Again!
1954 … 1964 … 1969, and now in 2022, we fly to the moon again
Fly me to the Moon:
In 1954 Decca Records release a song composed by Bart Howard and sung by Kaye Ballard titled: “In Other Words”. Later, in 1963, the singer Peggy Lee convinced Howard, to re-name the song. It’s new title: “Fly me to the Moon”.
And in 1964 Frank Sinatra release an album containing that song.
The lyrics begin with:
Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars …
Of course, 1969 saw the launch of the Apollo 11 when a Saturn V rocket carried the Astronauts Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong
a-top the rocket in The Command Module. At the very top-top of that module was The Lunar Landing Craft named: “Eagle”.
Eagle would take Aldrin & Armstrong to the moon’s surface.
Neil Armstrong would become The First Man to step onto the the moon.
