Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle's robot arm to release a satellite into orbit.

At that point, there will be the handover between the shuttle arm and the station arm so that the shuttle arm will take the cradle and put it into the cargo bay.

Mission to Earth, A Child is Born!
Mission to Earth, mission on Earth
A baby cries, cold air, no warmth
No womb comfort, a life, a journey begins.
Mission to Earth, mission on Earth
A universe spreads forth,
Horizon, spreads a hand and boundless.
Mission to Earth, mission on Earth
Giggles and applause, the friendly stars
Frowns and yellow eyes, the jealous frogs
Mission to Earth, Mission on Earth
The cross, he bears all, a thorn as crown
A mission, to save a life, though so thankless!

Who's Living With That Mission?
Who here,
Lives to dance and sing?
Who here,
Lives to hear the birds singing?
And who here,
Lives their life just to give?
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?
Who here,
Wakes up to give a damn?
Who here,
Demands to give a helping hand?
And who here,
Knows that peace has a chance?
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?
Who here,
Thinks about their fellowman?
Who here,
Gives their neighbor understanding?
And who here,
Wants the bleeding done by man...
To end and please them?
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?
Who here,
Thinks about what is right?
Who here,
Wants to do that day and night?
And who here,
Prays conflicts and fights
Would end!
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?
Who here,
Lives to dance and sing?
Who here,
Lives to hear the birds singing?
And who here,
Lives their life just to give?
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that mission?
And who here,
Wants the bleeding done by man...
To end and please them?
Who's living with that mission?
Who's living with that,
As ambition?
To live to give as a mission?

Man With A Mission
I see these women at the car wash; women
At the mall
Little-bitty women, and women who are tall
One of them is perfect and I want her for
Myself
Never gonna settle for anybody else
All my good buddies try to fix me up-
Buddy, Ive had enough
Im gonna run a few red lights; grind a few
Gears
Start a few fist fights; drink a few beers
Even though Im tryin every trick in the book
You gimme drop dead (drop dead), drop
Dead looks
You the finest woman that Ive ever seen
Why you wanna be so mean?
Well everybody tries to tell me
Theres nothin I can do
But Im a man with a mission
Baby you know its you
Man with a mission
Man with a mission
Man with a mission
Baby, you know its you
Well Im a man with a mission
Man with a mission
Man with a mission
Baby, you know its you-its you
Everybody runnin round here
Sayin, wheres the party? wheres the
Party?
Sonny-boy, dont ask me, cause I dont know
I got somethin else on my mind today-
Somewhere else to go
Well-a, well-a, well-a everybody tries to
Tell me
Theres nothin I can do
But Im a man with a mission
Baby, you know its you
Its you
Man with a mission........

Mission In The Rain
I turn and walk away then I come 'round again
It looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same.
I must turn down your offer but I'd like to ask a break
You know I'm ready to give everything for anything I take.
Someone called my name you know I turned around to see
It was midnight in the Mission and the bells were not for me.
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain,
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain,
Ten years ago, I walked this street my dreams were riding tall
Tonight I would be thankful Lord, for any dream at all.
Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true
But everything you gather is just more that you can lose.
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain,
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain,
All the things I planned to do I only did half way
Tomorrow will be Sunday born of rainy Saturday.
There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain
No matter what comes down the Mission always looks the same.
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain

Love Is The Healer (Album Version)
So many times in my life
I've been alone, left alone
Heart broken and
Turned around
I find myself
Crying in the night time
Dying out loud
In the night i sleeplessly
Wake up
From a dream that's
Tormenting me
I, i, i, i, i gotta get help
Oh, yeah
Love is the healer
Love is the healer
Come heal me
Love is the healer
Love is the healer
Set me free
Late at night i was afraid
And i tried to turn away
I was afraid to face
What in-evil-it-able is
Say you know the way
To find true freedom
Can you save yourself
From the pain you're feeling
Something in my head
That you're dreaming
That the angels said
Love is the healer
Love is the healer
Come heal me
Love is the healer
Love is the healer
Set me free
Love is the healer
Love is the healer
Come heal me
Love is the healer
Love is the healer
Set me free
I am on a mission, a mission of love
I am on a mission, a mission of love
I am on a mission, a mission of love
I am on a mission, a mission of love
I am on a mission, a mission of love
Love...is the healer
Love is the healer
Come as a healer
Set me free
Love is the healer
Come as a healer
Set me free
Love is the healer
Come as a healer
Set me free
Love is the healer
Come as a healer
Set me free
Do you know the way to love
Do you know the place of love

Space-Shuttle Discovery
(The July 2005 Mission to the
International Space Station)
Should there be another flight,
Or would scrapping it be best?
What of the man shuttle—
Would it past the test?
And if Discovery launches,
Would she return to land?
These unsettling questions
Plagued every man.
With the Columbia disaster
Freshly in mind,
We wondered of the risk:
Would the nation pine?
But safely, she made it
Into outer-space.
And it appears that, for now,
We're still in the race.
We watched her fiery lift-off
After spoiled attempts;
Her brave astronauts
Never seemed to flinch.
A daring show of strength
In death-defying fear—
‘Twas pleasing to the nation
To explore the last frontier.
But what about the gap fillers
That needed repair?
There in outer space,
Steve did the job we'd dare.
On her mission home again,
We reserved our mirth.
And things went rather smoothly,
Until approaching the earth.
Discovery was so near,
And yet so far away;
The weather was quite nasty—
Keeping her at bay.
We were waiting to exhale,
With hope in every chest.
But, until touchdown,
The nation held its breath.
Upon orbiting the globe
To compensate delay,
She landed at Edwards;
The mission went okay.
To greet Eileen and the crew,
Were the waiting crowds—
Praising the accomplishment
That did our nation proud.
Discovery made it home again—
The crew, and the chief.
And at last, we all can breathe
A sigh of relief.

Our popular Government has often been called an experiment. Two points in it our people have already settled — the successful establishing and the successful administering of it. One still remains — its successful maintenance against a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it. It is now for them to demonstrate to the world that those who can fairly carry an election can also suppress a rebellion; that ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors of bullets, and that when ballots have fairly and constitutionally decided there can be no successful appeal back to bullets; that there can be no successful appeal except to ballots themselves at succeeding elections. Such will be a great lesson of peace, teaching men that what they can not take by an election neither can they take it by a war; teaching all the folly of being the beginners of a war.

Mission Of Love
I know you're wonderin'
Just what I'm doin' 'round here
On a mission of love
I never come down to this side of town
But I'm here on a mission of love
Chorus:
"Cause our little girl is cryin' your name
And I've held her, but she only wants you
And although I hate what you've become
Little tears brought me here
On a mission of love
I don't know this man hangin' all over you
But I know what he's got on his mind
But if he's got a heart, darlin' he'll let you go
'Cause somebody else needs you tonight
Chorus:
And although I hate what you've become
Little tears brought me here
On a mission of love

Successful men make lousy husbands;
Successful women make lousy mothers.
Husbands and wives tending their families

Divergent Interpretations
If people honestly self examined themselves,
And their beliefs...
With scrutiny involved to solve their problems,
And issues...
They would remove the symbolism,
Found to idolize in their minds confined...
And live the lives they have no right to limit to restrict others,
From following on paths with missions to accomplish.
'Well...
My mission is to be all up in your business.'
There would be then no need to seek a passing of judgement...
As to who should be doing what, when and why,
To validate and qualify what it is one must do...
To achieve a successful journey.
From dust to dust to return back 'within' the heavens!
'That's some 'spooky' business.
I don't know if I want to be all up in that.'
But...
And with a 'however',
Too many rely on divergent interpretations,
As to how they best can be more effective...
To do what The Creator has assigned for them to get done.
When The Creator has already chosen for them,
What that mission is and those requirements.
IF people pray like they say they do to obey,
To listen to the 'voice' within them to learn...
There would be less conflict, division.
There would be more inner peace.
But,
Then...
Again,
For many it is about the materialism of deed...
To leave impressions to accept by those already seen,
Who have neglected themselves, purpose and meaning.
'You aint from around 'here'...
IS you? '
