You began as a dream Dreamt by leaders with vision Evolving to surpass All of man's wildest ambition... With adventurous men Like Shepherd and Glenn You stubbornly strove To prove, once again Beyond any doubt That bounderies could be broken... Despite mishap and fire Alas, you did inspire A generation to dream... From Mercury to Apollo The world, it did follow Your steady pace To Tranquility Base... Via Viking and Voyager Your efforts did prove That exploration of the universe Was well on the move... To Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune... You tenaciously endeavored To, your accomplishments, festoon... Your progress was sure As you strove to endure The incessent chatter Of the grossly short-sighted Their nonsense did clatter Proving they were poorly enlightened... With untold discoveries Like non-stick surfaces and airtight seals Through your numerous breakthroughs You've shown us how it feels To live better... From Columbia to Hubbel You've saved us great trouble In our daily lives... With your Space Station mission You've shown the same vision And, continue to lead in gaining cognition Of our universe... Lead on, great adventurers Lead on.

To The Adventurers
