NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Birds don't fly this high. Airplanes don't go this fast. The Statue of Liberty weighs less. No species other than human can even comprehend what is going on, nor could any human just a millennium ago. The launch of a rocket bound for space is an event that inspires awe and challenges description. Pictured here last week, the Indian Space Research Organization's LVM3 rocket blasted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on Sriharikota Island, India. From a standing start, the 600,000+ kilogram rocket ship lifted the massive Chandrayaan-3 off the Earth. The Chandrayaan-3 mission is scheduled to reach the Moon in late August and land a robotic rover near the lunar South Pole. Rockets bound for space are now launched from somewhere on Earth every few days.

Tell me a story about
your personal life,
where you were born,
how you met your wife.

I would really, like to know,
what was important to you.
How you handled setbacks,
how you learned and grew.

Were there times when
you wanted to quit,
because of some people,
with a personality twit?

Tell me of your success,
from your young life,
about raising your children,
and caring for your wife.

Let me know what troubled you,
even for a short time.
I would like to know,
were you always kind?

I've loved you forever
and the hardest for me to do,
is leave you now
for I'm still in love with you.
