Per Errationes Ad Astra |
We thought it over for a century or two |
Considered all in light of such short history |
Would you let them loose upon the |
Stars? |
Bring their dark and murky |
Waters to lap on pristine shores? |
Fine in their own place and with |
Their own destiny to follow |
But — breeding like rabbits on other |
Worlds and with other calmer spirits? |
Per errationes ad astra? |
Then dream, dream |
On. |
The dream is all. |
All good sense gone |
Neil, Buzz, and Michael, they made a |
Team. |
The right stuff in a can of spam |
The brave adventure came to nought |
Cruel economics had their say |
A tiny bubble of pure white light from mighty |
Engines roared on Pad 39A in the night |
Orbiters and Soyuz towered on |
Stacks of Lox and hydrogen |
But what a little squib, a little |
Firework in the cosmic crash of fiery |
Fusion as far galaxies collide: |
Drowned in the vastness of all we see |
And, still, can only just imagine |
Let’s not worry about the wandering |
Man. |
He’ll wander hither if he can |
But his time may have already come. |
And gone |
