"Rocket Man" TRANSLATED

    Last night, she packed my suitcases in preparation for my trip to Mars.  Blast-off is at 9:00 this morning, at which time I will be thoroughly intoxicated.  I am feeling quite isolated in the near vacuum extending between the planets and stars and have no way to gauge the passage of time.
    I believe it will be quite a while before I return to Earth and grapple with the fact that the public has a grossly inflated sense of my personal qualities.  Oh, no, no, no.  I am an astronaut, spending the prime of his life alone in outer space.
    Mars is not a favorable location for child-rearing.  Indeed, it is quite chilly there.  And besides, there is no one else around to help with the parenting.  I don't actually grasp all the technology that makes my journey possible; I just follow instructions.  An astronaut.  An astronaut.
    And I believe it will be quite a while.  And I believe it will be quite a while.  And I believe it will be quite a while.  And I believe it will be quite a while.  And I believe it will be quite a while.  And I believe it will be quite a while.  And I believe it will be quite a while.  And I believe it will be quite a while.  And I believe it will be quite a while.  And I believe it will be quite a while.
