Re: The "Still Stuck In LEO Ain't Goin' Nowhere Blues"

Shuttle's back inside the hangar,
After being rolled to the launch pad
We're still stuck in LEO
In 30 years it went from good to bad

I've got the Blues
The Still Stuck in LEO Ain't Goin' Nowhere Blues

Voyager's on the chopping block
Bepi-Colombo's instruments are down-sized
Who gives a damn when the corporations
Are handing out a self-serving prize

I've got the Blues
The Still Stuck in LEO Ain't Goin' Nowhere Blues

All those billionaires in the limelight
Who say they care 'bout space so much
Yet can't afford to fork over a few piddly dollars
To assist JWST, or Hubble on its crutch

I've got the Blues
The Still Stuck in LEO Ain't Goin' Nowhere Blues

Most of the space exploration crowd
Has jumped onto the space tourism wagon
Thought they wanted to go to Mars
To face a REAL challenge and join in the braggin'

I've got the Blues
The Still Stuck in LEO Ain't Goin' Nowhere Blues
