AmAll systems are goD: "are you sure?"
EmControl is not convinced, but the computer
AmHas the evidenceD: no need to aboCrt.Am
The countdown stEmarts.
EmWatching in a trance, the crew is certain.
AmNothing left to chanceD, all is working.
EmTrying to relax up in the capsule
Am"Send me up a drink"D, jokes Major CTomAm.

EmBack at ground control, there is a problem.
