Last Flight? Been around since the Saturns Seen a lotta launches to the sky Saw the Challenger’s first landing And, Her first time, to fly. A bunch they’ve helped Mankind We learned things we never knew Ever since that first time Man spread his wings, and flew. Too bad, it wasn’t all for Peace Or just, for the good of Man But just like we always do Man screwed up, the plan! So much, we could have done To make this World a better place But someday, of the Human There won’t be, ‘nary a trace. What we haven’t killed or ruined Will bloom, and flourish, once more As higher powers, scratch their head And ask, “What was Mankind for?” Hey all, I've moved to Florida. Will watch the next one from Titusville, again. Del “Abe” Jones 04.27.2011 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. copyright 1984 More poet |

I like this, although I think they managed to assist mankind in different ways. Don't call me on that, but surely . . . Florda . . . Summertime . . . Oh joy . . . ~ Passionate kiss, like spider web, leads to undoing of fly. ~ |

Humanity is bound to fly way beyond our wildest dreams ... science is the one matter we should promote and invest into. (instead of investing in war equipment). Maybe we are in time?! Wish you happiness in sunny Florida and great events to watch. But the shuttle is out of service isn't it? Great poem. Love, Margherita |

2 more Shuttle launches. One postponed today but will be able to see from my front yard when they DO blast off. Del "Abe" Jones |
