Ready, Fire, Aim: Fly Me to the Moon
The song "Fly Me to the Moon", originally titled "In Other Words", was written in 1954 by Bart Howard.
Fly me to the moon, Let me play among the stars, Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars. In other words, baby, kiss me…
At the time, flying to the moon was not possible, and Howard's publisher asked him to simplify his lyrics.
Despite the song's silly lyrics, 15 years later, the Apollo space program made flying to the moon a reality.
