aboard? no, I said, "abort!"

Sir Richard Branson is making it possible for all of us to travel into space, well... okay, some of us... okay, not many of us at all, but we can all experience Virgin Galactic's outerspace experience through cyberspace. If you've not tried it- you should!!!

Wish I had an extra $200K. Best wishes to all the pioneers!!!

a little ditty for sir dick:

I'm selling my place
And heading for space.
Can't wait to get gone.
It won't be too long...

Hit me with force Mach 3
So I can experience 0G
(Floating free)
All the pressure sliding off from me.

Pushing through the atmosphere;
Punching through this veil of tears.

Don't worry when off I blast
I assume I'm never coming back.
Y'say Major Tom had you sad,
But, Dude, the view! 'tweren't too bad.
Gotta get myself ready to go
Become an astronaut.
Saying "Goodbye" to everyone I know
And selling everything I've got.

Hit me with force Mach 3
So I can experience 0G
(Floating free)
All the pressure sliding off from me.

Pushing through the atmosphere;
Punching through this veil of tears.

Blast me up into space
Far above this human race.
I never seemed to run it well.
I tried, but when I finally fell
I couldn't get my heart to come back 'round.
Ever since, it's been slowin' down.
So I am headed up beyond the sky,
And, at least, if I can't fly,
I'll sure enjoy the way I die.

Hit me with force Mach 3
So I can experience 0G
(Floating free)
All the pressure sliding off from me.
All my troubles scraped off me.

Pushing through the atmosphere;
Punching through this veil of tears.
(Floating free)
All the pressure sliding off from me.
All the pressure sliding off from me.
(Floating free)
(Falling free)

Love your poem! Gothimal? Hmm...I just don't think I want to be associated with anything of the sort. Goth just isn't for me...unless I marry Robert Smith, and then it would just be inevitable. Happiness is way underrated!
