Probably his finest speech. Sad to say that for all the comparisons (age, previous career as entertainer, one-time Democrat), our current president is incapable of such a speech, and of such uplifting language in a time of uncertainty. If you're of a certain age, you remember either watching it live or hearing about it rather quickly. I think it was Sister Jean that came into Miss O'Haren's class, where I was, to say that there was an accident. I might have the years wrong, at this point in my life. Kids these days take TVs in the classroom for granted, but back in my day they were those big dusty boxes that hung from the ceiling and were rarely turned on. So this was a big deal, back when the space program was still something that we followed closely. Thirty one years ago today...
