Preparing For Blastoff

*For Matt's How to Build a Spaceship Contest How do we create an airship that soars? The answer was Roswell’s, but it could be yours Make the long trek to Area 51 To find secrets that lie beyond our sun Use a metal that is lighter than tin foil Load the fuel tank with something cheaper than oil Beam us up, Scotty, to the Enterprise And view technology through a Vulcan’s eyes Defrost Walt Disney’s cryogenic brain To help us design the computer’s mainframe Call Mulder and Scully out of retirement Their UFO knowledge is alien-sent Be sure to use tiles that don’t overheat Like those that cast Challenger down to defeat Let’s add Stephen King to the construction crew If “Christine” could talk, our spaceship should too Then let’s send the tab for NASA to pay What happened to our space program bucks anyway? Now we can blast Congress into outer space For the lot in D.C., there’s no better place
