"Lit up with anticipation the star of this unearthly show, venting vapours like the breath of a sleeping white dragon".HOLY CRAP!!!! What a word-smith!!! Brad from Chicago, IlDescribes perfectly the experience of being close-up and at hand of THE first "space shuttle" launch.Obviously not the same crew, but its still somewhat haunting to hear the chatter between the Columbia and Houston. Don from Franklin, MaThis song is always tinged with a little sadness for me, because its the Columbia, and I still remember quite clearly that sad morning when I woke my wife up saying 'the Columbia has burned up in reentry.'.Warner from Stanley, KsSo what was the music that was played for the astronauts that is referred to in this song?.I like it more than most fans I know.LOL. As a song it's just ok.as a project and an historical reflection it's pretty special. John from Asheville, NcI think the song's dated, but that's just what happens when you document "a moment." However, I think the band definitely made sure the song was atmospheric.and the NASA dialogue is a strong part of this experience."This day when super science mingles with the bright stuff of dreams." Now, almost 30 years later, I haven't yet (live on the opposite coast, darn it) but this song's vivid imagery makes me feel almost like I was an eyewitness.
Dougee from San Bernardino, CaWhen I was a teenager one of my biggest dreams was to witness a Shuttle launch.Rob from Los Osos, Cathe Shuttle was actually launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.The point about Rush's lyrics remains however. Gabe From Chicago from Chicago, IlI think the argument could be made that "Passage to Bangkok" is, pretty much about drugs.Alejandro Obregon from México CityThis song makes me remember when i was studying engineering, i dreamed about being an astronaut, one of my favorite songs ever, thank you Rush for the inspiration.I saw them numerous times since and never took a Rush show for granted. I get chills thinking about it to this day. I saw a few in the audience with tears in their eyes. As that ship took off I struggled to hear the song because the audience irrupted in to loud cheering as the shuttle left the ground. When they played "Countdown" it was so amazing with the back projector of the space shuttle with Young and Crippen being launched in to space. Not great visibility for a 13 year old kid of average height. I was on the floor in like the third section back.
