“We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and ’slipped the surly bonds of earth’ to ‘touch the face of God’.” - President Ronald Reagan, 1/28/1986
Twenty years ago, the Space Shuttle Challenger was torn apart 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven crewmembers. (more)
I hope that, as a nation, we continue to honor their memory by looking in awe to the heavens and reaching out for that which is just beyond our grasp.
