They will be sorely missed upon this planet.
To Touch The Heavens
From dust to dust
From ash to ash
They say our species
Is bound to clash
Over ideas and thoughts
And political views
But then there are
A certain few
Who strive to think
Of new ways to fly
Above the air
And beyond the sky
To touch the heavens
To taste the moon
To laugh on Mars
And on Titan's lagoons
To see the Sun
In unfiltered glory
To tell the universe
Our own space story
We shall not forget
The three who perished
To enhance a world
We all cherish
So rest in peace
Glen, Eric and Todd
As you walk in the heavens
With Almighty God

You can either visit the stars or watch them from afar.
But if you choose the former, you'll definitely get a better view.
