It is refreshing to look back and see how many pundits completely lost their shite when he said this. They pissed and moaned about how his recklessness both increased the risk for war and minimized our preparedness for it.

It gives me hope that we are less on a downward spiral and have always had to put up with ideological idiots in the political press.

"The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives," Reagan said. "We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God.'"
