00:25Ruben, Ruben
00:27I've been thinking
00:29And said his wifey dear
00:33Now that all gets peaceful and calm
00:38Boy it will too
00:39Be back on the firm
00:43Tonight we'll celebrate one year
00:45Since the departure of the Holocene
00:47Our first step out into the vast darkness
00:50Beyond our corner of the galaxy
00:52A year ago today we broke free from our star
00:56Venturing into the void of interstellar space
00:59Leaving behind our one light in the darkness
01:02And pushing off to a cold distant point in the night sky
01:08A point we cannot touch
01:10And we cannot see
01:11Beyond a pinprick of light
01:13From its own sun
01:15These stars
01:16Once the gods in the skies
01:18Are guides upon the earth
01:20And the wishes of our hearts
01:22This is where we have set off to
01:25The earth is overwhelmed with hope and pride
01:28For its brave sons and daughters
01:29The future is bright and full of promise
01:33All of mankind can rejoice in this feat
01:35For in it we as a race
01:37Have conquered and overcome
01:38Our place in the universe
01:41The best minds among us have been sent
01:44As our ambassadors to the heavens
01:45To learn, discover, and lay claim
01:48To our permanent position among the stars
01:51But we don't stand idly by
01:53While these souls set off into the darkness
01:55We prepare to follow in their wake
01:59A sister ship
02:00The Holocene 2 has been commissioned
02:02Sent to depart on its own voyage
02:05The journey is long
02:07And the way uncertain
02:08But a path has been set
02:10There are children listening today
02:12Who will take up that helm
02:13Laying the foundations
02:14Of a new pattern of exploration
02:16Going forth to embrace the expanse
02:18As they journey to join those sent before them
02:21They will walk upon strange, alien terrain
02:24And for the first time
02:26Call it home
02:34What wonders
02:35Will be found beyond our own star
02:39What new truths
02:41Lie in the beyond
02:44With them we send our faith
02:46And we send our dreams
02:48Godspeed to the crew of the Holocene
02:51We shall meet you
02:53In the skies
03:22Have a great day
03:24Grazie a tutti.
