Alright;
Ha, I’m being promoted to major, yeah, well, I guess.
Tell Captain Roper I said, “Congratulations,” as well.
Well, actually we returned in a escape pod, the Starling.
The Gloria’s still drifting somewhere past Saturn’s last moon [?].
Yeah, well life is good, different, but good you know
It’s good to be home; a little less exciting but maybe a little less, uh, triumphant
Of course, you know they really went all out, the ticker tape parade,
the president.
It’s good to know that even though things didn’t go as planned, people still loved us.
You know, they didn’t care that we failed
I guess our families were the most excited, the happiest, to have us back
Yeah its something else
The things that they are gonna do with those fuel cells
It really was a miracle
I mean it was an impossible [?]
Hahahah, do I have anything to say to the next generation of astronauts?
Yeah, yes I do
You know, don’t, don’t ever forget the people who put you to space i guess.
The people on the ground who did all the work, and their families, they’re the ones that should have done all the parades.
Can’t forget that no matter what happens, that whatever goes wrong, there is a reason for it
Theres a purpose to all these things
[?] your losses, and don’t forget the price of it all
But know that somehow it all becomes worth while;
There’s always something to hope for, always, always, just beneath the dawn
