(CapCom S.Cotton):
Space, the final frontier.
This is the voyage of the very first Enterprise.
The Mission is – to explore the planets of our sun,
to find answers about the survival of mankind
and to bring back more knowledge to our civilisation.
Boldly go where no one has gone before.
(Cpt B.Stinner):
“Captains log: Stardate 31. August 2036. The Enterprise is ready. Our mission is to visit the planets of our system. The task is, to go there as near as possible, and collect data. We absolutely need options for mankind to overcome! About my favorite wish? For Gods sake please, let’s survive and come back home.”
030: T r a c k 2: ” T H E L A U N C H ”
(Cpt B.Stinner):
You can call me asshole, you can name me fool
This can’t be my mission, tell me what I do
I would be working at the “astro” with people and cyborg-machines
But when I look at me now, I throw my life away
4 Gs hurts my body, stomach’s ailing wild.
Will I ever return or will I loose my life?
I could suffocate in deep space, at least an amazing view…
Or crash on a planets surface, but I´ve to do what I must do
Yeah, that`s just exactly what I am doing
Yeah, my god please tell me what I am doing
Yeah, just because I love to look at her backs
Yeah, please let me survive these unknown star tracks
4 Gs hurts my body, stomach’s ailing wild.
Will I ever return or will I loose my life?
I could suffocate in deep space, at least an amazing view…
Or crash on a planets surface, but I´ve to do what I must do
035: T r a c k 3: C o l l a g e : ” G o o d B y e ”
(CapCom S.Cotton):
“Look and see: This is the amazing, everlasting face of good ol’e mother Earth. Time to say goodbye!”
040: T r a c k 4: ” M O T H E R E A R T H P A R T I ”
(Cdr M.Steele):
Some call me Gaia • I was here from the first day
I watch over millions • I was here and I`ll stay
Heaven and Earth • Darkness and Light
Water and land • Plants of all kind
Stars giving time • They rule day and night
Creatures alive • Swarm, wander or fly
Women and men • Replenish the earth
What he made was good • And that was me…
(Cpt B.Stinner):
Mother Earth, I leave you now. But I swear I will return…
(Cdr M.Steele):
…come back to me (answering the Captains promise)
I’m the keeper of feelings
like goodness and evil
Speak the language of snakes
Keep the warmth and love
To those who might need
(CapCom S.Cotton):
Now you leave and maybe there is no return!
You’re heading towards the sun to accelerate speed.
Enjoy the exciting view, but be aware of the danger!

She: Really, you want to talk now?
He: Of course! I bought a new house right next to the astro, it could be our future life.
She: Aha!? You mean… settle down? Marriage and kids, ha?
He: Yes, it’s quite big, too big for me alone.
She: Ah, you need a housekeeper!
He: Not just, I will also need to be cared for when I’m old and grey… and somebody has to let the dog out. I didn’t say that it was gonna be easy!
She: If I ever come back to earth, I’ll be far from what I was when we started. I doubt that you’d still want me then. That anybody would want me…
He: But I will! I won’t be better of… I’ll need someone who was out in space like I was… Who’d been to pluto and back… She: Life will never be the same after this.
He: Maybe it’s going to be much better…
She: We will see…” He: laughs, Yeah, we will see…

Do you read?
(Cdr Steele):
Enterprise here, we read you loud and clear.
(CapCom S.Cotton):
Thank god, glad you’re still out there.
(Cdr Steele):
That systems crash shook us up quite a bit.
But there are no injuries reported and no damage to the ship.
(CapCom S.Cotton): Please do a diagnostic test on the DPS.
We must make sure the computer is ok.
Please report in 60 minute intervals.

(Doc E.Wiehler):
Would you hold my hand
If the stars were tumbling down
And we need to start all over back home?
Would you stay with me
If I was falling? Would you go away?
Or would you save your tears
And let my dreams come true?
Would I be a fool
Not to learn from you?
Would you let me in
And would it be sin?
Should I go and start
A conversation?
Just talk to you
Should I go and break
The frustration?
About the silence between us
By taking a chance
Before space will eat us
And if I tumble and fall
Get hold of me
Hold me from falling
I am Venus and I am independent
You may love me
You may see something in me
But I am what I am
Venus is just a name…
You can call me Ishtar, Freyja,
Aphrodite or Hathor
I am Venus and I am independent

Landing on mars is dangerous.
We must bring down the “Eagle 2” safely.
On board: 2 humans and 1 of 2 mice for the experiment.
Only one, because the A.U.S.A wants to avoid excessive waste of life.

Will I be carried from the soil?
The very first man here!
No, I don’t have the time
To dream the dream of mars
There is danger ahead!

Towards the outer planets we must cross the asteroid belt.
More than 600.000 objects are standing between us and our next goal. Jupiter! A planet of inconceivable giant dimensions
(Doc E.Wiehler): What will we discover?
(PT K.Dworak): Different forms of life?
(SC O.Hansson): Different climates?
(Cdr M.Steele): Any kind of evolution?
(Cpt B.Stinner): Civilization?
(Doc E.Wiehler): Culture?
(Cdr M.Steele): Will jupiter host us?
(Cpt B.Stinner): We are strangers here!
(Doc E.Wiehler): Do you hear the music?
(PT K.Dworak): Unstoppable.
(Doc E.Wiehler): Strange
(Cpt B.Stinner): Exotic!
(PT K.Dworak): Perhaps we are not the first ones, who have reached Jupiter?
110: T r a c k 13: ” J U P I T E R ”

Now we approach Jupiter
It is like we are coming home
(Cpt B.Stinner): CptnsLog:
We luckily overcame the Asteroids and now approach Jupiter.
A few times we thought, we’ve arrived already.
But the distance gauge still showed at first weeks, then days,
while Jupiter became larger and larger.
You look at this fast rotating giant with blurry eyes.
And than, slowly you fall into a kind of trance.
You have reached yourself and feel comfortably numb.
At home!

Jupiter: Hello, hurray, let’s play wicked games!
Angels: He’s the father of Gods
Jupiter: This world you see, is my big world of dreams.
Angels: From this world of betrayal
Jupiter: Come in, please welcome into my royal suite!
(Cpt B.Stinner): I find myself lost in a crazy world!
Angels: All of the known…
(Cpt B.Stinner): I dream of the myths and the legends of gods.
Maenad: I suddenly feel like listening to some jazz?
Angels:…crazy things! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…
Jupiter: I see species come and go (laughter)
Angels: Giver of Rain
Jupiter: If you’re one of them, please let me know!

Scientist: Lunatic people all around
Maenad: With their music.
(Cpt B.Stinner): If you can’t beat him, you should join him
Jupiter: Be part of my world of glory in the place of sin
(Cpt B.Stinner): If you are strong, strike soon
Jupiter: Where quarry amasses and maenads give in
Angels: He’s the father of Gods
Maenad: I once again feel like listening to some jazz!
Scientist: That’s how I try to get them back…

Jupiter: Jupiters decadence:
Beguiling! Gloating!
And singing their music.

Maenad: You will be feeling jazz,
swing, folk and have some poker parties.
Angels: Led armies to victory.
Jupiter: Jupiters decadence:
Let me have the finest wine,
let’s take some fruits.
Let’s have the great dance
and let’s break the rules
I am your god, the only one,
the best, the greatest!
Heavenly!
Let`s have a “full moon ride”,

This is Sam! –
Please let me express a few words from the crew here
at mission control:
“Death is merely a horizon, just a limit of our sight.
While we are mourning the loss of a friend,
we are confident to meet him on the other side.”
Funeral-Voices:
(Doc E.Wiehler):/(Cdr M.Steele): Aaaah/Uuuuuh
(Cpt B.Stinner): Captains Speech:
We always knew this could happen anytime,
but we never thought it would.
Now we mourn for the engineer of the enterprise,
who was our comrade and friend.
Selflessly he ventured into the most dangerous zone,
where he was seriously hit by a rock,
but not before our scientist was saved from certain death!
Fatally injured he hopelessly drifted away
into the rings of the lord, past recovery.
We have to leave his body here,
in this strange deserted space cemetery,
but he won’t ever be forgotten.
During the next stage of our mission,
the journey towards Uranus,
we will salute the mourning flag
and we will pass those months in quietude.

It took us all the way to Neptune
to find out what’s behind the strange feelings
and eratic behaviours of some crew members.
But now it´s clear.
It’s like a mental power, a specific aura
that every planet creates in its own temper.
You can withstand those influences
by your own mental forces. Just do it!”

Pluto is different to the other planets
which felt so unreal. The work is slow
but it feels real and sensible.
Our sensory impressions seem truthful again.

Personal note regarding those strange mindgames:
I’m glad they are over.

The final frontier. Our farthest destination…
Pluto is the 9th and the last world we visit.

and implanted suggestions into our heads.
I am glad that this was over now,
but the way back will lead us through the same
dangerous zones again…
(CapCom S.Cotton):
You need to pick up some provisions for your way back.
The supplies have been launched to intercept
your course between the giants Saturn and Jupiter.
It is essential that you dock with the containers
to refill your food and equipment inventories.
This is the last challenge you must overcome,
before your journey leads you straight back to earth.
Good luck!

Current distance to Earth:

Estimated travel time: 20 Months
Remaining technical supplies: 25%
Remaining life support stock: 21%
Intermediate destination:
The supply container between the giants
(Cdr M.Steele):
Time, but no recreation
Because you have no blue sky
Instead you still live on
In a dangerous tin can.
revisit: 170-Neptune:
(Cpt B.Stinner):
“It will take 20 month’s
To go back home.
In the best case
We will have no incident!
The main task for the crew
Is to stay alive
Find the supply container
In between the giants”
revisit: 150-Uranus:
(PT K.Dworak):
Everyday life is constant reps
Spacemans food and treadmill steps
So far space has been kind to us
In reaching home we have to trust
L J H – T h e m e :
(Cdr M.Steele):
Sometimes talking
Other times clamming up
Playing a board game
With selfmade tokens
(Cpt B.Stinner):
Named the game kadis-kot.
revisit: 130-Saturn:
(SC O.Hansson):
I felt getting saved from death!
I have been grabbed by a friendly hand.
(EN C.Denoir) with Choir:
I couldn’leave him there to die
(SC O.Hansson):
I was pushed back into the airlock
(EN C.Denoir) with Choir:
This was the way to get you back…
(SC O.Hansson):
That time I knew I was going to die
(EN C.Denoir) with Choir:
Who could know that rock would come?
(SC O.Hansson):
I wish I could have helped you then –
Finally I’ve been saved from death!
revisit: 120-Between The Giants:
(Cdr M.Steele): L J H – T h e m e :
We’ve got the technical supplies
In the hold
The food supplies
Are up next.

Dialog:(PT K.Dworak):/(Doc E.Wiehler):
(Doc E.Wiehler):
Oh man, how we have gone mad!
Now we face this truth
At last we’ve been so lucky
(PT K.Dworak):
While I was so confused
Thinking I’d be god
Both:
Be the only one
The best
The greatest!
Foolishly!
Instrumental Intermezzo…
revisit: 090-Mars: (Cpt B.Stinner):
I, I learned to live in space
How did that change me?
What does remain?
I, I learned to know myself
Learned to love my life
That’s what I’ll do from now!
revisit: 070-Venus: (Doc E.Wiehler):
I was Venus and I was independent
I still remember I was divine and kept it in my hands
And I felt like beeing a goddess
The truth remains:
Venus is just a name…
You can call her
Ishtar, Freyja, Aphrodite or Hathor
I was Venus and I was independent
revisit: 060-Mercury:
(SC O.Hansson):
It’s never been easy
To understand
The happenings there
But we stood side by side.
And we made it
We never gave up
Have defeated frustration
Defeated the powers!
(SC O.Hansson) with (Cdr M.Steele):
The aura was strong
But we did survive
Got it under control
So we’re still alive
…we’re still alive
(Gtr. Solo)

(SC O.Hansson):
The beginning and the end
200: T r a c k 10: ” M O T H E R E A R T H P A R T I I ”
(Cdr M.Steele):
Some call me gaia
I was here
From the first day
I watch over millions
I was here
And will stay
(CapCom S.Cotton):
As different as Earth has been,
compared to the other planets
at the beginning of our journey,
as alike it seems to be now.
Even on Earth we face unexpected perils
and every day, every moment
can be our very last
(Cpt B.Stinner): Mother Earth
(Cdr M.Steele): ahhh, oh
(Cpt B.Stinner): I’m back again!
Cdr M.Steele): uuhh
(Cpt B.Stinner): But I swear
(Cdr M.Steele): ..swear
(Cpt B.Stinner): For sure I’ll stay!
(Crew): Forever, forever, forever, forever.
(Cdr M.Steele):
Now you are here
I´m the mother of mankind
Carry the seed of all life
I will stir up all thoughts
And will guide the light
To those who might need
Gtr: Solo
(Cdr M.Steele):
Uuuhhh Aaauuuaaaaaoow..
Aaaahhh Haaahhhaaaoow..
Ahahaow!
(Cpt B.Stinner): with: (Crew):
Mother Earth you are in sight.
(SC O.Hansson):
Land ahoy!
(Cpt B.Stinner): with: (Crew):
See your friendly face so bright.
SC O.Hansson):
Land ahoy!
(Cpt B.Stinner):
Now it’s the turning of the page!
After many years we had to wait
Now finally we are here
Back from where the end was near
So glad to be back home!
(Cdr M.Steele):
Ahhh, ahhh!
The Couple:
He:
We will share
The pictures we have seen.
She:
Stuck together
Were more than a team
Both:
Became fellows and friends
Are lovers, believers in the end
(Cdr M.Steele):
Ahhh, ahhh!
He:
Remember the time
We learned to live in space
Centrifuge
Trainings on mother earth
The challenges of
Daily work in orbit
Both:
Oh yes, I
Can see it so very clear
She:
Dealing with
The worst of situations
It was funny how
You kept running out of time…
He:
But hey, I kept
Getting you back on track
Both:
But you used to lose
The overview
(Cpt B.Stinner):
Yes, I swore that I’d be back
Told my family I would survive
Haven’t found god, but still believe!
So here I am and very much alive
So glad to be back home!
(Cdr M.Steele):
ahhh, ahhh, ahhh…
(SC O.Hansson):
I always felt
That if anything went wrong
There was still a
Chance to survive
I always knew
Our plans would fit in time
There was still a
Chance for success
Who did really believe
That we would return at last?
And are we still the same
We have been when we left?
(Cdr M.Steele): Uuuhhh……….
(SC O.Hansson):
I now believe
Mother Earth will host us
To the end of time
(Cdr M.Steele): Uuuhhh……….
(SC O.Hansson):
And now I know
I’ll never go
Back to space again
Did we really believe…
(with Crew):
…that we would still be the same?
(SC O.Hansson):
And there inside us all…
(with Crew): …Star Tracks will just remain?
Showdown:
(Cpt B.Stinner):
Finally we’re home tonight
Are still feeling so alive
From a journey far away
Are back now and will stay
(Cdr M.Steele): ahhh, ahhh
(Cpt B.Stinner):
From a journey far away
Are back now and we will stay
Back from the planets of our own
We are ….

Coming Home, coming home, down to mother earth!
Coming Home, coming home, down to mother earth!
Coming Home, coming home, …
