01.26.12
On this solemn day, we join the NASA family and all Americans in honoring =
the brave men and women who gave their lives in the pursuit of space explor=
ation.
It is important to remember that pushing the boundaries of space requires =
great courage and has come with a steep price three times in our Nation=E2=
=80=99s history =E2=80=93 for the crews of Apollo 1 and the space shuttles =
Challenger and Columbia. The loss of these pioneers is felt every day by th=
eir family, friends, and colleagues, but we take comfort in the knowledge t=
hat their spirit will continue to inspire us to new heights.
Today, our Nation is pursuing an ambitious path that honors these heroes, =
builds on their sacrifices, and promises to expand the limits of innovation=
as we venture farther into space than we have ever gone before. The men an=
d women who lost their lives in the name of space exploration helped get us=
to this day, and it is our duty to honor them the way they would have want=
ed to be honored =E2=80=93 by focusing our sights on the next horizon.
