“ The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them — this morning, as they prepared for their journey, and waved good-bye, and ‘slipped the surly bonds of earth’ to ‘touch the face of God. ”’
~ Ronald Reagan; (Shuttle Challenger Tragedy Address, January 28, 1986)
Godspeed Challenger.
