The Moody Blues did a whole album with mostly space related songs, To Our Children's Children's Children (1969) From the opening, "Higher and Higher": Blasting, billowing, bursting forth With the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes Man, with his flaming pyre Has conquered the wayward breezes Climbing to tranquility/ Far above the cloud Conceiving the heavens/ Clear of misty shroud And "Floating" Bouncing about on the moon Guess you'll all be up here soon The candy stores they'll be brand new And you'll buy a rock With "The Moon" right through And "Sun Is Still Shining" Everything's turning/ Turning around See with your mind/ Leave your body behind Now that we're out here/ Open your heart To the universe/ Of which we're a part
