00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:31,439
it is sad to see the shuttle story

8
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:33,920
approaching the close of its chapter

9
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:35,920
and this mighty history book of space

10
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:37,280
exploration

11
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:38,960

12
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:40,960
exciting chapters

13
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:43,600
about space programs and more advanced

14
00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:45,920
space vehicles to carry us into the next

young in our minds

19
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:04,159
their legacy is the challenger centers

20
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:06,159
and an inspiration that motivates our

21
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:07,680
children to learn

22
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:10,000
and aspire to careers in math science

23
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:12,000
and engineering

24
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,560
they've shown us that exploration is not

25
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,320
without risk

26
00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:18,560

33
00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:39,200

34
00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:41,600
most sacred pursuit with the goal of

35
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:44,320
