Challenge and the Challenger Astronauts

President Ronald Reagan mourned the loss of our Challenger brothers and sister, then told us how to honor them:

“Our nation is indeed fortunate that we can still draw on an immense reservoir of courage, character, and fortitude, that we are still blessed with heroes like those of the Space Shuttle Challenger. Man will continue his conquest of space. To reach out for new goals and ever-greater achievements, that is the way we shall commemorate our seven Challenger heroes.”

…A Thursday Thought for today, on the 30th anniversary of the disastrous loss of the Space Shuttle’s crew.
