From Apollo Saturn V to SpaceX
In the vast reality of space, let’s journey afar,
And compare two giants like celestial stars,
One, the Apollo Saturn V, a marvel although old,
The other is SpaceX, with blazing tales untold.
Apollo Saturn V was a pinnacle of its day,
It ignited dreams sending mankind on their way,
The towering titan stood 100 meters high,
With power and grace, it soared toward the sky.
It’s five mighty engines burned fiercely bright,
Propelling the astronauts toward lunear light.
With courage and grace it ventured to explore,
While leaving their footprints on the ground floor,
Oh, Apollo Saturn V, a historical flight,
A symbol of humanity’s relentless might
But time moved on, and progress took course,
And another rises fueled by a new source.
Enter SpaceX, led by Elon Musk’s hand,
An audacious dreamer, a visionary in command,
Their Falcons roar like thunder through the air
Reusability, being a new secret they dare.
Landing boosters upright, what a spectacular grand,
Revealing a new era on which they must stand.
SpaceX with Starship aims even higher,
Reaching Mar’s doorstep, is fueled by desire.
With Starlink network, they seek to convey,
Bringing to the world a planet on display,
SpaceX, a disruptor, breaking all the norms,
Challenging limits, with a company that transforms.
The Dragon spacecraft, a sleek cosmic chariot,
Carried hope and dreams with zero attached,
To the International Space Station, it flew with grace,
A dance amongst stars, a testament to embrace.
Different as they are, both visions are profound,
Drawing us closer, new horizons to befound,
Apollo and SpaceX each played their part,
In kindling dreams that will forever spark.
An ode to these two pioneers for paving the way,
May their starry paths shine with each passing day.
