Reagan had a very big responsibility to address the children in this speech because it was clear that tons of kids were watching the take off and rightfully very saddened after it. After addressing the schoolchildren he starts off by saying "I know it is hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen. It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery." Here Reagan told the children that when the USA pioneers and explorers, but while doing new things that painful and saddening things happen. He said that it is a part of expanding our horizons. He continues to say, "The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we'll continue to follow them." Here he shows that due to our exploration and acceptance of the dangers that we face while leading a life of growing that the future will be ours. At the end he told them that the Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, but now its our job to follow their footsteps and pave our own path which is a clear message that this tragedy won't stop us and we'll continue to explore.
