Smoke rises, fire, rumbling,
Line of smoke as Shuttle and boosters rise
Up, Up and Up , disappearing in sky
Trail of smoke still rising
Incredible g force in cabin

Suddenly momentum gained
Bright green shimmer out of portholes
Below the earth shows her face
Weightlessness feeling cabin pressure gained
Remove helmets "We are in free-flight orbit
Crew works on checks for sustained circumnavigation
Open bay doors to release payload
Object slowly removed from dock
Now we are ready to start the tasks we came for..
