NASA SHUTTING DOWN
For everything it’s worth,
I’m still straddling the fence,
I don’t know if it’s drastically wrong,
or if it really makes perfect sense.
We’ve shut down our space program,
turning it over to private industry.
Guess I wasn’t paying attention,
but to me that’s still a mystery.
Space has given us so much
since the 50’s when we began,
can it be that I’m the only one
who’s confused by this new plan?
Who made this decision?
Are we sure they’re qualified?
Have we headed in this new direction,
just to keep the politicians mollified?
So much of what we are today
came from being involved in the race.
Is it really time to draw that curtain?
Can that source of learning be replaced?
For everything it’s worth,
I’m still straddling the fence,
I don’t know if it’s drastically wrong,
or if it really makes perfect sense.
