Inspired by the landing of the Perseverance Rover on Mars and the first interplanetary trackable it came with, we decided to dedicate a song to this unique trackable.
What better song to choose than David Bowie's "Space Oddity", right?
UPDATE: Our first album (Well-)Grounded can now be downloaded as one zip file from [ Ссылка ]
Here you can find the adapted GC lyrics:
Mars Oddysey
Perseverance Rover’s gone
Approaching Mars, the mission’s on!
Caching planets, I just hope this won’t go wrong …
Ground Control to Travel Bug (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)
Check all systems and may God's log be with you (two, one)
This is Ground Control to Travel Bug
You've really made our day
And the cachers wait for your code everywhere
Now it's time we have you touch down, if you dare
"This is Travel Bug to Ground Control
I'm landing, almost there.
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here Am I, “Billion Dollar Tin Can”
On a different world
Don’t know what to do?
Here’s a trackable for you.
Though I'm past one hundred million miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my Watson knows what disc to show
Tell Dr. McCubbin I’ll put on a show!
Head Quarters to Travel Bug
You are now unlocked, the logging’s on
Can we see you Travel Bug?
Will we see you, Travel Bug?
Will we log you Travel Bug?
Will we …
here am I, “Billion Dollar Tin Can”
On a different world
Haven’t got a clue?
Here’s a trackable for you.
By the way: If you pay close attention you might even spot something extra ...
