Countdown to start...
[Dialogue: "MOONLIGHT”]
I been here a long time
But I'm from Cuba
Lot a black folks in Cuba
From being here, though
I was a wild li'l shorty, man
Just like you
Runnin' around with no shoes on
When the moon was out
This one time...
I run by this old... this old lady
I was runnin', hollerin'...
Cuttin' a fool, boy
This old lady, she stopped me
She said...
"Running around
Catching up all that light
In moonlight... black boys look blue
You blue
That's what I gon' call you
Blue."
So your name Blue?
Nah
At some point you gotta decide
For yourself who you gon' be
Can't let nobody make
That decision for you
[Vocals by Alec Baldwin: "Journey to the Edge of the Universe”]
Down there, life continues
The traffic is awful, stocks go on trading...
...and Star Trek is still showing
When we return home, if we return home...
...will it be the same?
Will we be the same?
We have to leave all this behind
To dip out toes into the vast dark ocean
On to the Moon
