Hi! I am a spacecraft!
Right now perched atop a rocket in capsule
Within the confines of payload fairing
Countdown procedures are going on
Methodically checking all the systems of the rocket
The rocket is ready for lift off
Deafening explosions, reverberations. Shaking
Down under as the rocket lifts off
Jettisoning all stages i come out of the payload fairing
Now i am in space out on my own
Rocket guys do keep in touch with me
By my down and uplink antennas
The high gain, low gain antennas
They do monitor me, my propulsion, fuel so on
I am coasting freely with nothing to check my travel
You may call me a space traveller
Yet I would call myself a space resident
When astronaut guys also travel aboard
They are space residents too
As space surrounds us in all 360 degree directions
I am on a mission to far off worlds
Even beyond solar system
I am not forever i may outlive my usefulness
Run out of fuel or made to crash on a planet
To save the environs. Till then I am a space resident!
