really neat !
Looks like four little turbo-fans.  Wonder how much fuel he had in wings; couple of quarts?  One of them on a glider and with a little more fuel ought to last all day.

The landing looked hard on the knees.  He was smart not to try taking off from land. Guy's got super cajones. (Sp?)

Available on the album honky château


She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And i'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much i miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And i think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think i am at home
Oh no no no i'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone


Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science i don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man


And i think it's gonna be a long long time...
