Rosemary's Spacewalk Challenge in the Deep Pool
Rosemary Coogan dives into a pool so deep, To test her skills, her endurance to keep.
Rosemary Coogan's team is quite a sight,
Pushing, pulling, squishing, and squeezing tight,
Into a spacesuit, with gear on display,
Getting ready for a challenge, in a major way.

Forty-five minutes pass, and the helmet's in place,
Rosemary's ready, with a smile on her face,
She's about to test her skills in a pool so grand,
The Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, where she'll take a stand.

The pool's twelve meters deep, with a replica so fine,
Of the International Space Station, a spacewalk divine,
Rosemary's going to work, with a test that's so long,
More than six hours, with a challenge that's strong.

She's a British astronaut, with a dream so bright,
To explore the stars, and make everything right,
She studied astrophysics, with a passion so true,
And now she's training, with a goal in view.

Rosemary's in the pool, with divers by her side,
Adjusting her buoyancy, with a gentle, steady glide,
She's working hard, with a focus so keen,
To mimic weightlessness, in a pool so serene.

She's got a task list, with repairs to make,
And a partner to help, in a spacewalk to partake,
Aki Hoshide's advice, is a guiding light,
As Rosemary works on, with all her might.

The Saturn V rocket, is a sight to behold,
A relic of the past, with a story to be told,
Rosemary's excited, about the Artemis plan,
To return to the Moon, with a British astronaut's hand.

The test is almost over, but then comes a twist,
Rosemary's partner's in trouble, and she must insist,
On a rescue mission, with a comms check so fine,
Rosemary's endurance, is truly one of a kind.

She tows her partner, to the airlock with care,
And completes the task, with a smile so fair,
The spacewalk's over, and Rosemary's done,
A challenging test, but a dream that's won.
