Title: "The Spacefarers' Tale"

(Verse 1) Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, A tale of a fateful flight, That started from the Kennedy pad, On a crisp and starry night.

With Captain Butch and Commander Suni, Their minds were sharp and bright, An eight-day mission on Starliner’s wings, To test the depths of flight.

(Chorus) The ship took off with hope and pride, To orbit Earth’s embrace, But now they're stuck, their journey’s stalled, In the cold of endless space.

Eight days they planned, but now it’s been, Eight months without a break, On the ISS, they drift along, Oh, when will they awake?

(Verse 2) The Starliner, a brand-new craft, Was meant to prove its might, But problems soon began to grow, In the endless, silent night.

A leaky valve and thrusters failed, Their journey hit delay, From June to August, plans were dashed, As the months just slipped away.

(Chorus) The ship took off with hope and pride, To orbit Earth’s embrace, But now they're stuck, their journey’s stalled, In the cold of endless space.

Eight days they planned, but now it’s been, Eight months without a break, On the ISS, they drift along, Oh, when will they awake?

(Verse 3) Butch and Suni make the best, Of crowded, close confines, With six sleep pods and nine aboard, They sleep where space aligns.

Suni finds her rest in CASA’s hold, A module safe and sound, While Butch camps out in Kibo’s span, Where quiet’s rarely found.

(Bridge) They work all day, no time to waste, With tasks that fill each hour, From science labs to fixing pumps, Their days are full of power.

Their clothes were scarce, but help arrived, In Cygnus' timely flight, With fresh supplies and fruits aboard, To ease their endless night.

(Chorus) The ship took off with hope and pride, To orbit Earth’s embrace, But now they're stuck, their journey’s stalled, In the cold of endless space.

Eight days they planned, but now it’s been, Eight months without a break, On the ISS, they drift along, Oh, when will they awake?

(Outro) Butch and Suni, legends now, In NASA’s honored scroll, Their mission tested to the core, Their bravery made whole.

The Starliner might not bring them back, But their story’s not in vain, For they’ve joined the ranks of space’s best, In triumph and in strain.
