"Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew –
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."
John Gillespie Magee

I remember when a station used that poem as part of its nightly sign-off (back when TV stations shut down at midnight and didn't go back on the air until 5 or 6 a.m. . . .

I am so grateful these pilots flew this thing so I wouldn't have to Brother Dale. To be perfectly honest, if it was up to me, we would all still be walking on earth only.
