On July 21, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human being to set foot on an entirely different world. His famous words crackled across 238,900 miles of space and electrified those listening back home on Earth: “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.”

La conquête spatiale désigne l'exploration de l'espace par l'humanité, marquée par des avancées majeures, telles que le lancement du premier satellite, Spoutnik 1, par l'URSS en 1957, suivi de l'alunissage historique d'Apollo 11 en 1969. Depuis, des missions ont permis d'explorer la Lune, Mars, et au-delà, avec des télescopes et sondes. Les agences comme la NASA, l'ESA et SpaceX ont poussé les limites de la technologie, ouvrant la voie à des projets de colonisation et de recherche interplanétaire.

LA CONQUETE SPATIALE

(Sail above the land and sea)
(Sail above the land and sea)
While waking from a mono sleep
A fancy thought came over me
I wondered what it might be like
To take a ride with Buzz and Mike
We sailed above the land and sea
Gave a wave to gravity
We could not say if this was real
Or candy floss inside a dream

Oh can it be it might be true
Someone walked upon the Moon
Can you believe that it could be
Someone just like you and like me
(Sail above the land and sea)
(Sail above the land and sea)

And I thought about how I might feel
Inside the heel of Buzz or Neil
A boy on the Moon in a long-distance call
From Clouden Road in Cumbernauld
For stillborn babies, weary dreams
Lives of strained and threadbare seams
With everything they’ll never do
You know that Neil felt this way too

But can it be it might be true
Someone walked upon the Moon
Oh can you see that it could be
Someone just like you and-
Can it be it might be true
Someone walked upon the Moon
Can you believe that it could be
One day we shall witness our dreams (like Neil)
(Sail above the land and sea)

Someone Walked Upon the Moon


Interviewer: 

I do realize that when you were on the moon, you had very little time for gazing upwards. But could you tell us something about what the sky actually looks like from the moon?  The sun, the earth, the stars, if any, and so on? 

Armstrong: 

The sky is …uh… a deep black …uh… when viewed from the moon, as it is when viewed from .uh… cis- lunar space, the space between the earth and the moon.

The uh…the earth is the only visible object other than the sun that can be seen,  although there’ve been some reports of seeing planets,  I myself did not see planets from the surface, but I suspect they might …uh… be visible.

The earth is quite beautiful from space, uh, …so...uh... and from the moon,  it’s looks quite small and quite remote,  but …uh… it’s very  blue and covered with ...uh…a…white lace, and …of… the clouds and the continents are clearly seen, although they have very little color from that distance.

Interviewer:

What about the sun, could you see any trace of the corona?

Armstrong:

No, the …uh… glare from the sun on the … helmet visor was too difficult to pick out the corona.  The only time we could see the corona was during eclipse of the sun from the moon,  that is, when we were flying through the moon’s shadow and could observe the, the uh…the solar…

A meeting between the Little Prince and Jonathan Livingston the seagull, between Aldous Huxley and George Orwell, between Bernard Mandeville and Adam Smith, or Archimedes and Newton, all while passing through an explanation of Plato's myth of the cave, kinesiology, the four Toltec agreements, Diogenes syndrome, and Pareto's law, not to mention a tribute to Michel Legrand, François Truffaut, Louis de Funes, Oscar Wilde, Winston Churchill, and Jacques Tati... all while passing through a hymn to prime rib, the recipe for cassoulet, sauerkraut, paella, veal blanquette, and the art of the aperitif.

This is our musical universe. From rap to country, reggae, jazz, blues, and so many others.

Each theme deserves a suitable musical style.

Let's not forget our nods to New York, Miami, Paris, Berlin, Hong Kong, Moscow, Barcelona, ​​Lisbon, London, kyiv, Tel Aviv, Dubai, Rio de Janeiro, Marrakech, Los Angeles and Beijing... each in the language of their country.
