The Space Probes I: 2. Venera 1 (1961) - The first unsuccessful Venus attempt (USSR)

2. Venera 1 - The first unsuccessful Venus attempt (USSR)

Verse 1:
In a quest for Venus, bold and grand,
Venera 1 launched from Soviet land.
A mission of dreams, to pierce the night,
Through cosmic voids, to Venus' light.

Chorus:
Bold was the venture, brave was the flight,
Venera 1, lost in the night.
A journey begun, with stars in our eyes,
A story of courage, where ambition lies.

Verse 2:
Through silent space, the probe did roam,
Seeking Venus, far from home.
But silence fell, the signal ceased,
A quest unfinished, but not released.

Chorus:
Bold was the venture, brave was the flight,
Venera 1, lost in the night.
A journey begun, with stars in our eyes,
A story of courage, where ambition lies.

Bridge:
In every loss, a lesson learned,
For greater heights, our passion burned.
To Venus still, our sights were set,
A future mission, a cosmic bet.

Chorus:
Bold was the venture, brave was the flight,
Venera 1, lost in the night.
A journey begun, with stars in our eyes,
A story of courage, where ambition lies.

Outro:
Venera 1, your path we tread,
With every mission, by you we're led.
To seek, to find, to never yield,
Our spirit strong, our fate revealed.
