STS-26 CREW WAKE UP (MET 18:37 - 4:37 a.m. CDT)


(Following done by Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam style)


GOOD MORNING DISCOVERY! 

GOOD MORNING DISCOVERY!

Good Morning Discovery

Rise and shine boys.  Time to start doing that Shuttle shuffle.
You know what I mean. Hey here's a little song coming from the 
billions of us to the five of you.  Rick, start 'em off baby.  
The Hauckster to you.


(Following done to theme of Green Acres)

On orbit is the place to be
Free wheeling on Discovery
Earth rolling by so far below
Just give her the gas and look at this baby go

We can't believe we've made it here
So high above the atmosphere
We just adore the scenery
Yea Houston's great but give me that zero-g

Hey look out the windows - That's me
Captain I'm hungry - Let's eat
Maybe we'll land at White Sands
Uh-Uh  - Look Ma, no hands

This is the life
Oh what a flight

Earth orbit we are here
