Astra 1A
Astra 1A was the first satellite launched and operated by SES (Société Européenne des Satellites), launched in December 1988. During its early days, it was often referred to as the Astra Satellite, as SES only operated one satellite originally.
The satellite provided television coverage to Western Europe from 1989 through 2004 and was revolutionary as one of the first medium-powered satellites, allowing reception with smaller dishes than before.
Astra 1A was retired and became derelict in December 2004.
Channels
Among the channels carried in the early years after launch were the entire four channel Sky Television (later British Sky Broadcasting. After the merger with rival British Satellite Broadcasting on the Marcopolo satellite), the services consisted of Sky One/Sky Channel, Sky News, Sky Movies and Eurosport, the Scandinavian TV3 and TV1000, the German Pro7, Sat.1, RTL plus, 3sat and Teleclub, the Dutch RTL4 as well as FilmNet, Screensport, MTV Europe, The Children's Channel and Lifestyle.

Everybody
by: Why StoreEverybody holds the future
Everybody holds the world
Do you ever wonder, baby?
What this is all about
Do you ever question, girl?
The things you tend to doubt
Well, there's no reply
It's better off to die
When you're feeling all alone
Do you hear the answer baby
When you're sitting on the throne
Everybody holds the future
Everybody holds the world
You got a penny in your pocket, baby
A penny in your mind
You hope someone will stop it, girl
You hope to avoid the crime
Well, you've never been so lonely, baby
You've never been so blue
You can't afford the doctor, girl
So what you gonna do
Do you feel the lonesome anger, baby
When you're feeling all alone, yeah!
Do you feel the lonesome anger, baby
She said, baby, that's something I've always known
She said, baby, that's something you ought to know
Everybody holds the future
