“Sometimes painful things like this happen. It’s all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It’s all part of taking a chance and expanding man’s horizons. The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.
― Ronald W. Reagan’s speech on the Challenger disaster, January 28, 1986
…
They prepared for the journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.”
One of the seven crew members killed in the disaster, Christa McAuliffe, was an American social studies school teacher who was scheduled to become the first teacher in space.
