I Remember 2006 - Jovian System lyrics

Io isn't possible
But use it for energy
Lava launching out chaotically
Electrical potential
To power the other
Jovian systems
Europa, Ganymede and Callisto
But, man, the radiation


Under the ice
Suffice to say
Life could be there
And thriving well
Europa's oceans
How will we fair
Here where it's water
With all of this
Jovian radiation?



Serpentinization
Creating hydrogen and oxygen
Where is the salt
In the subsurface ocean?
Tidal forces
From Jupiter's pull
Shifting the currents
Under the ice



Well, how about Ganymede?
It has it's own magnetic field
But the radiation is not ideal
Two months and you're gone
Shame, for there's a saltwater ocean
But I know some race will move there
But it's too risky for us
But what if it is?


And so we go to Callisto
Another ocean under the surface
But we have a problem
There's less sources for life here
Then there is on Europa
But Callisto has the least radiation
So, what do we go for?
Where do we go to?



It wouldn't hurt to go for both
Working out the possibilities
I think we can make the three work
If we build the right habitats
Europa, Ganymede and Callisto
I know that if we work hard
We can colonize
The Jovian system



It's been
Uh fiftten Jovaki That's what we call
The years now. I've been living on my house
On Aquarius Sulcus for quite a
While. My job is to
Explore the surface of Ganymede
It's fun to do
But at the same time Weird
I've seen children playing tag
On Perrine. Sitting
On a bench, watching them play
There's this sadness to it
They were born on a
World that wasn't designed for them I just
Know they would be better over on Earth, or
Mars, after Konstantin helped
The underground Martians
Or
What they call themselves, Rasacáz
Or Rasacázi. But
Somehow, this is where we find ourselves
And this is likely where we'll be
Stuck at for our lives. We've
Grown accustomed to this place. It's too
Late to go somewhere else
Anyway, I guess I'll just stare at
The storm on Jupiter. It's never-ending
I know. I can't think
Of an analogy right now
Something about how space
And dimension travel is like
A never-ending storm
Just like the red eye on Jupiter I don't
Know I've never been good at analogies
