2
Dedicated with thanks to astronauts Young & Crippen and all the people of NASA for their
3
inspiration and cooperation
4
Lit up with anticipation
5
We arrive at the launching site
6
The sky is still dark, nearing dawn
7
On the Florida coastline
8
Circling choppers slash the night
9
With roving searchlight beams
10
This magic day when super-science
11
Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams
12
Floodlit in the hazy distance
13
The star of this unearthly show
14
Venting vapours, like the breath
15
Of a sleeping white dragon
16
Crackling speakers, voices tense
17
Resume the final count
18
All systems check, T minus nine
19
As the sun and the drama start to mount
20
The air is charged --- a humid, motionless mass
21
The crowds and the cameras,
22
The cars full of spectators pass
23
Excitement so thick --- you could cut it with a knife
24
Technology --- high, on the leading edge of life
25
The earth beneath us starts to tremble
26
With the spreading of a low black cloud
27
A thunderous roar shakes the air
28
Like the whole world exploding
29
Scorching blast of golden fire
30
As it slowly leaves the ground
31
Tears away with a mighty force
32
The air is shattered by the awesome sound
33
Like a pillar of cloud, the smoke lingers
34
High in the air
35
In fascination --- with the eyes of the world
36
We stare...
