Memorial Poem for Astronaut Dr Janice Voss

Dear Linda please feel free to use this on the Memorial Cards and to read at the Service. So long as my name is on the bottom in small print it is fine. I don't know why the email is typing like this. I did not change to Plain Text as formatting would be lost. Sincere Condolences Kyi May http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/voss-jan.html A veteran of five space flights, Dr. Voss has logged over 49 days in space, traveling 18.8 million miles in 779 Earth orbits. Dr. Voss first flew on STS-57 (June 21 to July 1, 1993). Mission highlights included retrieval of the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) with the Shuttle’s robotic arm, a spacewalk, and the first flight of the Spacehab module. She next flew on STS-63 (February 3-11, 1995). Mission highlights included the rendezvous with the Russian Space Station, Mir, the deployment and retrieval of Spartan 204, and the third flight of Spacehab.

One man and one woman/ about five feet tall./ You loved science fiction and square dancing./ Look down on us from your last/ Circling of the Earth./ Know, we miss you./ Copyright Kyi May Kaung
