about

"It turns out that life in orbit is very attractive. Instead of building a settlement on the outside of a planet, to live in orbit we must build giant spacecraft and live inside. In the 1970s, Princeton physicist Gerard O'Neill and others showed that orbital space colonies were physically possible, attractive places to live". www.nss.org/settlement/space/

Unless...
well ...

lyrics

Rains of death are falling, falling, falling from the sky.
I'll be damned if I remember any reason why.
I may be damned anyway... running from the cosmic ray-

Thunderpower, the cosmic king:
He ruled and always did his thing.
If fire power brings us down
the cosmic flare will melt his crown

I am hopelessly aglow.
Friend don't touch me - you may go.
Don't be sorry, don't you cry
You may live but I shall die
You may die anyway .. running from the cosmic ray

Thunderpower, the cosmic king:
He ruled and always did his thing.
If fire power brings us down
the cosmic flare will melt his crown

In this fragile spaceship home
There's really nowhere left to roam
We mined the moon and built our grave
I never thought I'd die a slave
I guess we're in the final day .. finally thrown our lives away

We worked in space
We served the race
We died in space

Thunderpower, the cosmic king:
He ruled and always did his thing.
If fire power brings us down
the cosmic flare will melt his crown

We worked in space
We served the race
We died.
