Been listening to "To Touch the Stars" again. And here's one for the Artemis Project:
They smiled and waved as they passed the camera,
About to ride a dream as a jaded world looked on.
We'd seen it all before - space had lost its glamour, then,
In a blast of smoke, their lives were gone.
They tried to meet the challenge of reaching for the stars,
To touch their light so clear but yet so far.
They tried to leave the cradle - to view the great unknown,
To proudly stride the cosmos on their own.
It struck a blow to our complacent nature.
Some said this vain attempt would surely be our last.
We'd finally come to comprehend the danger
Of striving for new worlds beyond our grasp.
But we won't let fear diminish the sacrifice they made.
We'll carry on their dreams in memory of their names.
Because we can meet the challenge of reaching for the stars
To touch their light, so clear but yet so far.
It's time to leave the cradle, to view the great unknown,
To proudly stride the cosmos on our own.

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.
