[07:29.162]We've grown used to wonders in this century.
[07:31.874]It's hard to dazzle us.
[07:34.391]We've grown used to the idea of space, and, perhaps we forget that we've only just begun.
[07:40.075]We're still pioneers.
[07:42.169]Sometimes painful things like this happen.
[07:45.212]It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery.
[07:48.927]It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons.
[07:54.135]The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted, it belongs to the brave.
[07:59.367]Nothing ends here.
[08:02.327]On this day 390 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard ship off the coast of Panama.
[08:10.292]In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and a historian later said, “He lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it.”
[08:20.364]Well, today, we can say of the Challenger crew: Their dedication was, like Drake‘s, complete.
[08:28.919]We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye.
[08:38.146]And “slipped the surly bonds of earth” to “touch the face of God.”
[08:44.824]Thank you.
