chnological miracle. And he said, “If something ever does go wrong, I hope that doesn't mean the end to the space shuttle program.” Every f***ly member I talked to asked specifically that we continue the program, that that is what their departed loved one would want above all else. We will not disappoint them.
Today we promise Dick Scobee and his crew that their dream lives on, that the future they worked so hard to build will be reality. The dedicated men and women of NASA have lost seven members of their f***ly. Still, they, too, must forge ahead with a space program that is effective, safe, and efficient, but bold andmitted.
Man will continue his conquest of space. To reach out for new goals and ever greater achievements — that is the way we shallmemorate our seven Challenger heroes.
Dick,Mike,Judy,Elg,and Christa — your f***lies and your country mourn your passing. We bid you goodbye; we will never forget you. For those who knew you well and loved you, the pain will be deep and enduring. A nation, too, will long feel the loss of her seven sons and daughters, her seven good friends. We can find consolation only in faith, for we know in our hearts that you who flew so high and so proud now make your home beyond the stars, safe in God's promise of eternal life.
May God bless you all and give youfort in this difficult time.
