7.January 28,1986(1986 1 28 )
Ladies and Gentlemen,
today is a day for mourning and remembering.
They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its
truths,
and they had that special grace,
that special spirit that says,
'Give me a challenge, and I'll meet it with joy.'
The crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger
honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives.
We will never forget them
as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye
and slipped the surly bonds of earth
to touch the face of God.
