However, compared to other ECC audio collages this one <i>is</i> kind of weak.

The oohs and ahhs are sped up versions of the Brian Wilson song "Our Prayer/Gee." So basically everything is stolen.

Check out this transcript. http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11.posteva.html Michael Collins is orbiting the moon, alone, and Houston comes up with some busywork for him at 112:14:56. For almost 2 minutes, Collins says nothing. At 112:17:39, is Collins pretending he didn't hear Houston? I like to think so. I like to believe he was saying to himself "I can't FUCKING believe that crap. What the hell? I'm ORBITING the fucking MOON! Screw THEM! This is GREAT!" And then, "aaaaaahhhh kkkkththtthk ... you're breaking up, Houston." And if they had really fucking talked like that to fucking Houston, they’d STILL be on the fucking moon.
