Ammodramus LyricsGo ahead; uh, it was September of 2005.
Since the accident?

…do you know what a geosynchronous orbit is?
Yeah it uh, it would have been almost impossible if we had planned it
but, no one could have known, you know, that systems would fail…
…the guidance systems, the third engine
I guess they tested the computers there and they say it was the third engine [?]
Haha, yeah, I guess that’s one way to put it. I still think about it from time to time I guess um, but, that isn’t anything.
It’s bad but, you know nothing like the loneliness out there in the dark.

I apologize, uh yeah, it was an accident, the anti-matter, i mean, like, all of it, an accident. And Lieutenant Hoerig, I mean, his family, I still talk to them every now and again.

But it was him, he saved the mission.
