The end of the Apollo program came as a very sad day for the hundreds of thousands of Americans involved in its success. Although they knew the program was expensive, they also knew it was worth it. Congress canceled the final three Apollo missions, and the Saturn V rockets that would have been used are now in museums at Kennedy Space Center (Florida), Johnson Space Center (Texas), and Marshall Spaceflight Center (Alabama). They are quite possibly the most expensive museum exhibits in modern history.

LYRICS:

I thought I heard our Congress say
End Apollo, end it
They took the taxpayer funding away
And it’s time for us to end it

End Apollo, end it,
Oh sadness reigns as we end it
For the mission is done and the funds don’t flow
And it’s time for us to end it

We beat the Russians, and now we’re done
End Apollo, end it
We collected some rocks and we had our fun
But it’s time for us to end it

End Apollo, end it,
Oh sadness reigns as we end it
For the mission is done and the funds don’t flow
And it’s time for us to end it

Our jobs returned ten-fold to GDP
End Apollo, end it
We led a boom advancing technology
Yet it’s time for us to end it

End Apollo, end it,
Oh sadness reigns as we end it
For the mission is done and the funds don’t flow
And it’s time for us to end it

We built three more mighty Saturn Fives
End Apollo, end it
They rust away, mocking hungry lives
So why is it time to end it?

End Apollo, end it,
Oh sadness reigns as we end it
For the mission is done and the funds don’t flow
And it’s time for us to end it

End Apollo, end it,	
End Apollo, end it,
No bucks, no Buck Rodgers so they say
And it’s time for us to end it

End Apollo (A Space Shanty)

“Zero Gravity" is the 2nd single of Dr Chrispy's upcoming EP, which contains songs about his lifelong pursuit and advocacy for space exploration. This song and its accompanying music video contrast the experiences of space travelers with those of their loved ones who are left behind.
