Columbia
Columbia on liftoff
We lost a shuttle today.

We lost seven astronauts.

What we must not lose is our resolve.

The movement of humans into space is the most important and noble task that we can perform. People will continue to die on this mission, martyrs to that cause. We can best honor their bravery, their memories, by continuing the work for which they gave their lives.

Mr. President, I suggest you use this opportunity to announce a decade long, wartime level, national effort to establish a permanent lunar colony, AND manned nuclear rockets to Mars. Name those rockets, and those colonies, after the space pioneers that died during the Apollo, Challenger, and Columbia missions.
