You took to space
Outward bound
To a place
Devoid of sound
Science then wed fiction
The moon our backyard
You left us no restriction
A true avant-garde
A rocket man through and through
A traveller of uncharted space
Yet much more so, that is true
A being of daring and grace
One small step for man
A giant leap for mankind
You proved that we can
You gave sight to the blind
Rest easy good sir
As we go to Mars
An entrepreneur
Must reach for the stars
