    Prompted by this morning's Crew-6 launch...


    "Reentry Burn"
    ttto "Sentimental Journey"

    Gonna make that first reentry burn, see,
    Gonna light it once we flip;
    Gonna take it through that boost-back burn; we
    Need to slow our downward trip.

    Had a crew and took 'em into space here,
    Filled a Dragon that takes four.
    Second stage then took our boosting place; we're
    Heading back to bring up more

    Heaven,
    Taking payloads clear to heaven,
    Cargo or a crew of seven,
    Till the second stage, on its one day,
    Takes it away.

    No one thought a rocket could return; we
    Shocked 'em, landing on a drone.
    Once we'd mastered that reentry burn, see,
    That reentry burn back home.

    That reentry burn back home.
