July 20, 1969

Ah, Columbia, Columbia! 

The first to take us to another world.

The embodied hopes of a nation

The sweat of thousands of men and women

Do you somehow know you are more than steel?

I think you do.

May you, like your pilots and your makers,

Rest forever in honor.


I was lucky and honored to see Columbia launch and to see her again 50 years later.
