Ok, maybe not much more impressive. Just a little more.

Instead of trying to sing them like folk songs, take his lyrics and imagine them as performed by Eminem or LL Cool J or whoever it is the kids are listening to these days. They sound much more impressive.

"Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving,
And revolving at 900 miles an hour.
Orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
The Sun which is the source of all our power.
The Sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see,
Are traveling a million miles a day.
In an outer spiral arm at 40,000 miles an hour,
In the galaxy they call the Milky Way."

@IntoAshes: I just read that book last summer. I kind of liked it. Needed more bugs and powered armor, but then again, what doesn't?

It's OK, but I prefer MC Hawking.

I'd salute him. With a swift kick to the yarblockos.
Chock up yet another reason why the intarweb dooms us all.

Too bad the title of this article is a thousand percent better than the lyrics this guy writes. Somebody buy him a few Sun Ra records, then stand back and let the astrophysics fly.

If I were his student I would never take him seriously again. Plasma jets shooting? Good thing in space they can't hear you scream...
