Heroes

Some died burning on the launch pad. Some exploding in the sky. Some careening
through the atmosphere. That’s the many ways they died
Then the hatch, it had a failure. Sucking out all of their air. So they put it
into a ballistic spin, but the chute did not deploy. It’s everyday with wasted
lives
Whoa-
But lives well spent are far and wide
Whoa-
Grissom’s quote is very touching. Dogs and chimps all pitching in.
To expand us through the cosmos. Worth a million times more than we spent.
It’s everyday with wasted lives
Whoa-
But lives well spent are far and wide
Whoa-
Would it be wise if we did not explore the stars, their deaths would be in vain.
They gave their lives for all of mankind
