The Ballad of Space Settlements

(Set on ‘All Star’ by Smash Mouth)

The Foundation Society
Once told us not so lightly
The world was coming to an end.
The UN got a warning
We’d die of Global Warming
The sun’s rays we need to fend.

Well the rays start coming
And they don't stop coming
Someone got an answer
And it was Northdonning
Build a solar shield at L One
We needed many people,
Not just some.
So made Alexandriat,
The first space colony
The UN, Capitalists
Paid all the money
T’ was Completed in 2024.
10 years aint all that slow.

Hey now we’ve got a start,
Space infrastructure’s now in place
Hey now we’ve got the power,
Space settlements we’re gonna make

And Space will be our new home
Earth will be its Rome

Written as a tribute to the 'scenario' for the International Space Settlement Design Competition.
