Today, in science, my instructor asked if anyone knew about Reagan's Challenger Tragedy Address.

  • Me: -stands up, speaks in mannerly voice- "Ladies and gentlemen, today is a day for mourning and remembering. They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says: “Give me a challenge, and I’ll meet it with joy.” The crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God."
  • Instuctor: Dear God-
  • Me: I was terribly lost when the galaxies crossed and the sun went dark! But, Dear God! You’re the only North Star I would follow this far!
  • See? Owl City is optimistic AND educational. xD

Ladies and Gentlemen, today is a day for mourning and remembering. They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths; and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says, 'give me a challenge, and I'll meet it with joy.' The crew of the space shuttle Challenger, honored us with the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them as they prepared for their journey, and waved goodbye, and slipped the surly bonds of Earth. To touch the face of God.
