1. One major persuasive technique is pronouns, it makes everyone think that they are part of one big family.
"But we've never lost an astronaut in flight. We've never had a tragedy like this."
2. Another one is Pathos, it evokes a kind of bittersweet ending to the speech, saying they are dead, but they are with God now.
"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."

3. The last persuasive technique is plain folk, because Ronald is saying that we mourn together.
"Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades. And we know of your anguish. We share it.
