    Turn around, look at what you see
    In her face, the mirror of your dreams
    Make believe I’m everywhere, living in your eyes
    Written on the pages is the answer to our neverending story

    Reach the stars, fly a fantasy
    Dream a dream, and what you see will be
    Lives that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds
    And there upon the rainbow is the answer to our neverending story

    Show no fear, for she may fade away
    In your hand, the birth of a new day
    Lives that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds
    And there upon the rainbow is the answer to our neverending story

    Neverending Story

  12. Just got back from XPRS 2006. Unfortunately, this gorgeous 4-engine cluster rocket with art deco fins vaporized into confetti-sized bits overhead upon launch this year… Probably from a supersonic pressure wave. R.I.P.

  13. Loving rockets….hummm :
