What have you been listening to to get yourself pumped for launch? (I've been listening to the ME3 song Leaving Earth from the soundtrack as I type this)

Me? I've been listening to the iconic speeches from the 20th century & war, scifi, & fantasy films. Winston Churchill, George Patton, Dwight Eisenhower, JRR Tolkien, etc etc

~~~~~~~

Winston Churchill's "Finest Hour" speech (Changing a few words to Mass Effect lore)

"But if we fail, then the whole galaxy, including Earth, including all that we have known & cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the Alliance & its Colonies last for a thousand years, all will say, this was their finest hour.

(link to the actually speech here: )

Quote on the victory of the Royal Air Force over Britain:
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

An altered version of Eisenhower's letter to the troops on the eve of the Normandy Invasion D-Day 1944:

Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!



You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have
striven these many months. The eyes of the galaxy are upon you. The hopes
and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In
company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you
will bring about the destruction of the Reaper war machine, the
elimination of Reaper tyranny over the oppressed peoples of the Galaxy, and
security for ourselves in a free galaxy.



Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.

.....

I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!



Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
