"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."
From Reagan's address to the nation the day of the tragedy. It also happens to be one of my favorite lines from any speech in the last twenty years. The Challenger tragedy happened twenty years ago today.
