The Rescue

[Jatwaa]

"NO!"

Jeb screams

We are going up there

Through the blue sky and frost laden air

Val grabs her helmet

"I am going too"

They march toward destiny

The tiny crew

Mission control with a sigh start counting down

Ship fully fueled and wheeled quickly around

There was but one shot they had before all was lost

Engine fired up and they turned and they tossed

Nose to the target's expected location

All held their breath in the KSC Administration

Jeb held the craft steady and Val docked with practiced precision

Neither of them regretting for a second their decision

Tense moments passed as mission control awaited word

They exhaled in exhilaration as they comprehended what they heard

Control this is Val and Jeb, we are on our way back

Mission successful, we have rescued the snacks
