00:00:00,824 --> 00:00:06,006
On Jan. 27, 1967, a fire swept through the Apollo Command Module during a preflight test.

00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:11,052
Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee perished inside.

00:00:15,974 --> 00:00:20,603
and all who lost their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery.

5
00:00:21,271 --> 00:00:23,898
Apollo 1 Jan. 27, 1967

6
00:00:23,898 --> 00:00:29,821
Apollo 1 was with all doubt a terrible tragedy.\h\h

7
00:00:30,739 --> 00:00:33,116
We remember\hthe loss of those lives.

8
00:00:33,116 --> 00:00:34,868
We don't stop our quest.\h\h

9
00:00:34,868 --> 00:00:39,914
We don't stop our mission but we continue to move\h
forward in that mission of scientific discovery.

00:00:42,167 --> 00:00:45,128
Challenger Jan.28, 1986

11
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:50,884
A failed booster joint caused Challenger to break up 73 seconds after liftoff. All seven crew members were lost.

12
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:57,057
We come together today to mourn the loss of\h
seven brave Americans.

13
00:00:57,057 --> 00:00:59,559
To share the grief that\hwe all feel

14
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:05,231
and perhaps in that sharing, to find\hthe strength to bear our sorrow

15
00:01:05,231 --> 00:01:08,818
and the courage\hto look for the seeds of hope.

16
00:01:08,818 --> 00:01:11,821
Sometimes\hwhen we reach for the stars, we fall short\h\h

17
00:01:12,447 --> 00:01:15,784
but we must pick ourselves up again and press\hon.

18
00:01:15,784 --> 00:01:17,660
We bid you goodbye.

19
00:01:18,411 --> 00:01:19,746
We will never forget you.

20
00:01:20,538 --> 00:01:24,834
Here we have the spacraft choo-choo train\hcoming down the tunnel

21
00:01:24,834 --> 00:01:29,255
and luckily\hwork is a hole lotta fun up here.

22
00:01:30,465 --> 00:01:35,512
This day has brought terrible news\h
and great sadness to our country.\h\h

25
00:01:44,395 --> 00:01:48,108
Mankind has led into the darkness beyond our world\h\h

26
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:53,321
by the inspiration of discovery and the longing\hto understand.

27
00:01:53,571 --> 00:01:56,950
Our journey into space will go on.\h\h

28
00:01:57,826 --> 00:02:02,122
In the skies today, we saw destruction and tragedy\h\h

29
00:02:02,997 --> 00:02:07,794
yet farther than we can see\h
there's comfort and hope.
