My Spaceship " New Horizons "
I remember one day
When i was young
To fly into space
As earths atmosphere's sprung
I have thought and thought
Of what it would be like
To build a spaceship
And finally take flight
Where would i start
And how would it look
Materials i would use
To be built by the book
Design is important
Although no drag would be there
A crew it would carry
To take us out there
Now let me think
Where do i start
Think like Noah
When he built the Ark
Strength is important
So it will be carbon fibre
With reinforced Aluminium
Lighter, but harder
When moulded and crafted
It will be delta winged
Fusion driven
This spaceship will bring
At Hypersonic speed
It's delta wings close
When it hits Mach 8
It's speed and elegance shows
It's mainframe computers
Will be IBM
Emblazoned on it's fuselage
The logo of them
My spaceship will carry
A crew of twelve
Disciples we will be
For out in space we will delve
How to build a spaceship
Thank you for reading the above
For it's journey will be
Earths futures peaceful white dove
