"Star Fire" - American Space Age Song [+Lyrics]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- This song was written by Cynthia McQuillin in 1983, and originally sung by famous filk musician Julia Ecklar. This version was also sung by Ecklar, with guitar by Karl Franzen, Bass by John Land, and drums by Kurt Moore.
On July 16, 1969, the Saturn V carrying Apollo 11 launched from Launch Complex 39A with its eyes set on the moon. Today, November 16, 2022, that history is echoed as Artemis I launches as the first in a series of complex missions to return humanity to the moon. During this flight, the spacecraft will launch on the most powerful rocket in the world and travel farther than any spacecraft built for humans ever flown.
Bear my soul to touch the universe beyond.

One of our greatest achievements as a species
definitely one of the achievements
It is an achievement of certain nations.
@@ΚωνσταντῖνοςΚοντοθάνος hardly. The NASA team was composed of Americans, but also lots of German scientists from the former Nazi regime, with increasing amounts of foreign born scientists joining the team as time went on. The Soviet project was pretty similar in this regard.
This isn't to mention all the different people involved in the manufacturing, resource collection, processing, and other industrial work who go uncredited to this achievement despite also being necessary to the projects success.
While it took place within an arbitrary boundary, every little piece of assistance came from different corners of the globe.
@@pennyforyourthots Still you refer to certain nations.
@@pennyforyourthots nothing is every done alone. So I think it isn’t wrong to say that America did it, because they assembled the team.
Fly me to the Moon, and let me play among the stars,
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars...
Deserves 331 million views like the last video hopefully soon man will expand to encompass the entire Solar System
Will he? According to modern ideologues the conquest of the Solar System is an evil reminiscence of colonizer mentality.
@@jancyraniak thats not the exact mentality its more of a retarded "why" response most times but hopefully we can overcome that
umm if NASA didn't get their funding slashed post Apollo we would already have bases on every planet, full blown cities on the moon and mars, only the entire solar system is not ambitious enough, if we want to guarantee our survival as a species then we would need to expand into multiple solar systems, eventually much of the milky way and even parts of andromeda and the other smaller galaxies in the local group.
No country won the space race, humanity won the space race
Nice argument, but which country's flag is up there?
@@natowaveenjoyer9862 the soviets weren't even aiming for the moon much, they were focused on a space station. You can't say that either of them won or lost, because they weren't even in the same race.
@@natowaveenjoyer9862 America sets goalposts: LOOK EVERYONE I'MA PUT A MAN ON THE MOON.
Soviets: cool we have nukes
America: Yeah but MOON.
Soviets: Dang it you're right.
@@YoungAstronomicalReaserc-zf8zy It's a little more cynical than that, unfortunately. The Salyut stations were originally a military program; after it became clear that the Americans would beat the Soviets to the Moon, there was basically a crash program to turn Salyut into a civilian program and say "look at this! We weren't racing, this was our goal all the time! Silly Americans and their posturing."
We are all Gagarin. We are all Leonov. We are all Armstrong. We are all human, and the stars themselves await us.
I will see the Starship launch with this banger on the background
That ending...man...that is just beautiful.
Congratulations with the Artemis launch from Russia!🇷🇺❤️🇺🇲
Love your Space Age Song videos, Avtovania✨
One step at a time, we climb the ladder.
My dearest wish is to live to walk on the red planet.
Thanks.
It is a lunar test run. It will put a human on the moon in 2024 and a human on mars in 2034.
Eternal glory to the Soviet Cosmonauts! The first men and women to touch the void of space!
Space age songs from both America and Russia have always been the best!
Also Artemis launched successfully at this videos upload time so pog
Thank you for allowing me to find some of the best songs hidden out there!
Man, this makes me emotional.
Especially the part between 0:46 - 1:15
That's what a true contralto sounds like. The rarest female voice type
Yeah that part really chokes me up. She paid tribute not merely to the three that rode that rocket, to all the people whose 12 years of labor, sweat, toil, and love built the rockets. The capsules. The lander. The computers. It may have even been more than 10,000 if we include the entire supply chain from extraction to manufacture to assembly.
Goodjob, NASA and Artemis!
Love Julia ecklar, best geek folk artist
Star fire
Fire in the sky
What's up with space age songs and fire?
Sun
@@O5-hans on fire
Look at how the rockets get to space. They spew out an incredible amount of flame to get so far.
@@maxbennett5412 true...
Btw did you hear about nasa's plan for a new space station?
@@jwilson7809 You mean gateway?
I know it was the united states achievement but all of humanity should be proud 🌎
US? Do you even know that we - the Slavs sitting behind the Iron Curtain - beat Americans to space?
@@jancyraniak The song is about the moon landing
@@Hypergen- It's overally about space conquest, it does not mention where those 3 men were heading.
@@jancyraniak That’s what Julia Ecklar wrote the song about originally though
@@jancyraniak cope and seethe harder, America won the space race and everybody knows it
I fucking love this song so much
same :p
I'm speechless
Can anyone help me identify the progression at 1:32
It's sooo amazing
Those are spotlights turning on
I've seen that capsule and one of the rocket engines in the Smithsonian. Something I had wanted to see for over 30 years.
God bless our great nation. From sea to shining sea, from pole to frozen pole, and out into the cosmos
GOod song
This song actually gave me confidence to ask out my ex who was my first girlfriend
That's interesting, anyways I have a GF although she's taking her own time beacuse she's depressed and said that she needs to recognize herself or she will hurt me and well the funny thing is that we both like this song and she has said to me that she thinks I am gonna be an aerospace engineer.
@@el_de_el_loquendo9855 ur tragic.
Whos here before starship launches
Cheers to starship flight 5
2/22/24
The moon

Nice song but I'm more of a Raven guy, lol
kek
star water
Star earth and star wind
@@O5-hans everything changed when the star fire nation attacked
aint my cup of tea but even then it goes fairly hard
Is there an instrumental version of this song?
U.S. Space Forces (1818-?)
1818?
filk musician? might want to fix that description
"Filk" music is a genre of folk-styled music relating to science fiction and fantasy
ah sorry
@@Actovania thanks.
Why did we abandoned space? why did they close NASA?
they didnt close nasa nor we have abandoned space
Yes, I distinctly remember that this was the future promised to us, the children of the Cold War era. Then the Cold War ended and somehow instead of stars we have sex parades. Something went wrong...
I’m not a child of the Cold War but I still hope we can achieve that dream
we can achieve both
pointless wars to benefit corporate and the MIC's interests. thats where the funding went
@@eggisfun4217 One of those is less an achievement and more a sign a civilization is on the decline.
@@stevenschnepp576 Fair enough, Though we should still accept Bisexuals, Homosexuals etc. Idrc about the parades tho
American propaganda music has its charm tho
Its more spacer propaganda than just "American Propaganda"
Sure the Americans made it but its more relevant in going to space than anything American
@@eggisfun4217 Indeed it praised Gagarin from the beginning.
