1
00:00:05,066 --> 00:00:10,133
Every January we at NASA have a day of remembrance

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,033
to encourage reflection

3
00:00:13,633 --> 00:00:18,266
throughout NASA, throughout our country,
throughout indeed, the world.

4
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:21,533
It’s a day to pause, to remember,

5
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:26,200
and to uplift the legacies of the NASA
family members

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,800
who gave their lives
to advance the cause of exploration.

7
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,866
The crew of Apollo one,

8
00:00:40,766 --> 00:00:42,133
then Challenger,

9
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,766
then Columbia,

10
00:00:47,366 --> 00:00:50,300
and the many other astronauts that died

11
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:53,133
while they were actually training.

12
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:57,600
We will never forget these astronauts, nor

13
00:00:58,166 --> 00:01:02,800
all those who have lost their lives
in the pursuit of discovery.

14
00:01:04,566 --> 00:01:09,133
And so on this day of remembrance,
we honor

15
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:12,866
and try to better understand

16
00:01:14,166 --> 00:01:18,633
our place in this huge, huge universe

17
00:01:19,933 --> 00:01:22,566
and our attempts at discovery

18
00:01:22,566 --> 00:01:24,566
and exploration in it.

19
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:31,900
These astronauts all achieved
the once impossible dream to soar

20
00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:34,900
in the cosmos

21
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:37,500
and to explore the heavens.

22
00:01:39,566 --> 00:01:42,833
And their families have suffered,

23
00:01:42,833 --> 00:01:45,600
and they have our deepest respect.

24
00:01:47,766 --> 00:01:49,500
Every day at NASA

25
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:53,066
we have an opportunity,
we have a responsibility

26
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,733
to carry forth their memories.

27
00:01:55,733 --> 00:01:59,666
And by taking the next giant leap

28
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:03,466
we want to keep alive their legacies.

29
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:07,533
By meeting every challenge head on

30
00:02:07,533 --> 00:02:13,033
we want to remember their legacies.

31
00:02:16,266 --> 00:02:19,500
As we push the edge of the envelope

32
00:02:20,233 --> 00:02:24,533
of human achievement
in this new era of exploration,

33
00:02:24,533 --> 00:02:29,066
we must always continue
to embrace the core value of safety.

34
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,633
It's an institutional
and it's an individual responsibility.

35
00:02:35,566 --> 00:02:38,533
This is and always will be,

36
00:02:38,533 --> 00:02:43,466
as we reflect,
a very solemn day on the sacrifice

37
00:02:43,466 --> 00:02:46,700
that was made by a bunch of very,

38
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,800
very brave adventurers.

39
00:02:53,266 --> 00:02:55,400
It's also a day

40
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,766
of remembrance, of extreme gratitude.

41
00:03:00,266 --> 00:03:01,500
We are thankful

42
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:05,833
that NASA's fallen adventurers
shared their lives with us.

43
00:03:06,833 --> 00:03:09,966
They made life on this earth better

44
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:15,166
and today
and every day, we at NASA are still united

45
00:03:15,633 --> 00:03:18,366
in that shared pursuit

46
00:03:18,366 --> 00:03:20,666
of exploration and discovery.

47
00:03:20,666 --> 00:03:22,700
And may we carry their spirit

48
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,166
and those of all
who have given their lives

49
00:03:27,166 --> 00:03:30,433
in the name of exploration.

50
00:03:36,533 --> 00:03:39,233
May we carry their spirit with us

51
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:41,966
as we venture out

52
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,233
to the Moon,
