Heroes - The Phenomenauts

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
