I am a spacecraft, I am zooming into space!

I am a spacraft , I am zooming into space

Just a machine ,  no worries to take care

No flesh , no blood

No hunger, no food

I just keep zooming  into space

On and on and on …….

I am a satellite when I go round the Earth

I am a space probe when I escape the Earth

Just enough power to last for decades

Fed into me by the radio thermal isotopic generator

High gain low antennas keep upconnected

Downlinked for me to keep track of Earth

For the Earth to keep track of me

The Science blokes ride into space on me by proxy

Letting me go on and on and on

Derisking from real travel

No worries indeed

still there few things to attend

Shielding me from cosmic ray

Charged particles phantom

Keeping the signals going to Earth and back

Keeping the systems in working order

I need to go on to bring the view of the universe

Into your door steps

Wish me luck, wish me health

Till I fade away into oblivion, into black space
