I remember that poem. Whenever a TV station would end its broadcast day, they would show an ad in which a fighter plane soaring past American monuments while a voice read this poem, and then the National Anthem would play.

Was just going to mention there is an exhibit at the AF Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB with this poem but then I went to the link and there it was.

Mike Melville accepted his Astronaut Wings and described his flight in SpaceShip!. Indeed, "he touched the Face of God!"
I remember during the halcyon days of Mercury, Gemini and Apollo our astronauts marveled at being closer to God when they climbed those dizzying heights. Russian cosmonauts exclaimed that they saw no God! Ronnie showed 'em!

I never cease to marvel at these words, put together by a 19 year old in 1941. I loved flying!

Russell Crowe Ping. 10 points if you can name the movie in which he recited part of this poem. ;-)
