Title: "The Spacefarers' Tale"<p>(Verse 1)
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful flight,
That started from the Kennedy pad,
On a crisp and starry night.<p>With Captain Butch and Commander Suni,
Their minds were sharp and bright,
An eight-day mission on Starliner’s wings,
To test the depths of flight.<p>(Chorus)
The ship took off with hope and pride,
To orbit Earth’s embrace,
But now they're stuck, their journey’s stalled,
In the cold of endless space.<p>Eight days they planned, but now it’s been,
Eight months without a break,
On the ISS, they drift along,
Oh, when will they awake?<p>(Verse 2)
The Starliner, a brand-new craft,
Was meant to prove its might,
But problems soon began to grow,
In the endless, silent night.<p>A leaky valve and thrusters failed,
Their journey hit delay,
From June to August, plans were dashed,
As the months just slipped away.<p>(Chorus)
The ship took off with hope and pride,
To orbit Earth’s embrace,
But now they're stuck, their journey’s stalled,
In the cold of endless space.<p>Eight days they planned, but now it’s been,
Eight months without a break,
On the ISS, they drift along,
Oh, when will they awake?<p>(Verse 3)
Butch and Suni make the best,
Of crowded, close confines,
With six sleep pods and nine aboard,
They sleep where space aligns.<p>Suni finds her rest in CASA’s hold,
A module safe and sound,
While Butch camps out in Kibo’s span,
Where quiet’s rarely found.<p>(Bridge)
They work all day, no time to waste,
With tasks that fill each hour,
From science labs to fixing pumps,
Their days are full of power.<p>Their clothes were scarce, but help arrived,
In Cygnus' timely flight,
With fresh supplies and fruits aboard,
To ease their endless night.<p>(Chorus)
The ship took off with hope and pride,
To orbit Earth’s embrace,
But now they're stuck, their journey’s stalled,
In the cold of endless space.<p>Eight days they planned, but now it’s been,
Eight months without a break,
On the ISS, they drift along,
Oh, when will they awake?<p>(Outro)
Butch and Suni, legends now,
In NASA’s honored scroll,
Their mission tested to the core,
Their bravery made whole.<p>The Starliner might not bring them back,
But their story’s not in vain,
For they’ve joined the ranks of space’s best,
In triumph and in strain.
