We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

We're Going to Mars

Update #3 · Jun 12, 2012 · comment

Only 3 days left to go in our Kickstarter campaign, but we are not giving up! We'd like to share with everybody a poem that Nikki Giovanni (one of our American writers) wrote, which we have decided to take excerpts of to create the Children's Chorus.  It perfectly embodies the spirit of The Three Astronauts, and why we won't give up on this project!

Here is one of our favorite excerpts from Nikki Giovanni's "We're Going to Mars"

  We're going to Mars for the same reason

  Marco Polo rocketed to China

  for the same reason Columbus

  trimmed his sails on a dream of spices

  for the very same reason Shackleton

  was enchanted with penguins

  for the reason we fall in love

  It's the only adventure
