Your welcome for the verse as is everyone else that enjoyed. It's actually a flip on the Navy hymn which was a prayer originally.
Eternal Father, Strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bid'st the mighty Ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to thee,
for those in peril on the sea.

As a retired bubblehead I understand the pain that everyone involved in any way with the space program is going through as the programs are similar in that they are all family. Risking the deep is not all that different to risking the above ground IMO. Though all involved understood that there was nothing routine about what we were doing we took every precaution to make it routine, even knowing at any moment shit can happen. We understood that and that was OK. Nothing comes without risk. You manage it as best you can. Sometimes even with the best of planning shit happens and when you are doing the extreme thing that will never be shown on the x games it happens fast and it's ugly.

But tomorrow will be a new day. We will go on, and we will prevail. We will find the problem and we will fix it.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
remainder of Psalm 23:http://www.geocities.com/Athens/2740/psalm.html

I'll drink to that and raise a toast to our fallen.
