Poetic Language
Lines like "miraculous spaceship" and so on are the poetic words of Ray Bradbury... renowned sci-fi author who wrote the original script. Then again, that particular line is more recent, and so could have been someone else trying to sound "bradburian". My favorite Bradbury line in the attraction is as you are turning the corner from the Sistene Chapel scene to the press room... something like "on these wings of inspiration we soar into a new century".
Jeremy Irons narrated from the most recent script.
And I think the idea of "miraculous spaceship" is an attempt to say... in the middle of all that darkness of space... here's a planet where life somehow sprang up and endures. Now all that life travels together on that vast globe... through cold dark space... as if that globe were a miraculous spaceship.

From what I'm told, Walter Cronkite was first, then Jeremy Irons, and the voice is now done by David Warner. He has been in many movies and TV shows, including Titanic, Three (Failed WB show), and a Cardassian on Star Trek: The Next Generation - he tortured Captain Picard in Chain of Command Parts I & II.

No Irons?
This is very odd... I've not read anything else about Mr. Irons being removed. If this is true, it is a very recent development, as I rode SE just last Monday, and the Irons narration was still part of the ride. If it's true, I'm glad I got to catch that great narration one last time. I hope it's false.

Re: No Irons?
This has to be very false.
It was still Mr. Irons on Saturday.
