lyrics

Ice sits on the launch pad, coating surfaces and dials
The joints of the solid fuel boosters frozen open and wide
Rubber seals, normally pliant, rendered rigid by the cold
Very high risk of failure which engineers foretold

"It's only a space truck" quipped the voice of the bureaucrat
Under the shadow of profitability, nobody could say no
"take off your engineering hat and put on your management hat"
Under blistering cold and bad weather, the launch was a "go"

Crew compartment tumbles up 20 kilometers high
Free-falling towards the sea at 333 clicks an hour, death is nigh
