Or perhaps, we've just forgotten

that we are still pioneers

that we've barely begun,

and that our greatest accomplishments

cannot be behind us

because our destiny lies above us.

We've always defined ourselves

by the ability to overcome the impossible.

And we count these moments.

... the first ever to fly faster than the speed of sound...

These moments when we dared aim higher,

to break barriers,

to reach for the stars...

Gemini 6, you are go.

... to make the unknown known.

We count these moments as our proudest achievements.

Having fired the imagination of a generation

Have we lost all that?

... pulls into port for the last time.
