I was watching a good friend play KSP2 this morning and it inspired this poem. I've been amazed by both games and wish to show their devs my sincerest appreciation, Not only have you made some really fun games you've inspired me as well as so many others to keep looking to the stars. Thank you.
Dreamers From Earth
by Zidders Roofurry
Armstrong, Glenn, and Gagarin.
Courage aplenty and quite rare.
Atop great rockets they did fly.
They carried our dreams into the sky.
Komarov, McAuliffe, and Ramon.
Lives tragically lost. Their dreams live on.
Their sacrifices all too grave
in the pursuit of human progress made.
We send these souls out toward the stars.
Out to the Moon and someday to Mars.
Perhaps to Venus and beyond.
Who knows what planets we'll set foot on?
The risks are great. The knowledge greater.
All leading toward a future state where
our troubles now will be lessened
thanks to their work and taught lessons.
