Ascension - Mike Oldfield

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth

And the earth was without form, and void;

And darkness was upon the face of the deep

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters

And God said

Let there be light

And there was light

And God saw the light

That it was good…

(Extract spoken by Lunar Module Pilot Wiiliam Anders, from the Apollo 8 crew

live television broadcast, made when the first manned mission to the moon

entered lunar orbit on Christmas Eve, December 24th, 1968)
