a pause, today
But as we remember those who have fallen, we must also honor them by
acknowledging, humbly, that they cannot be the last. We have not made our
last mistake in learning the art and science of spaceflight. There are
places in Arlington Cemetery, and elsewhere, waiting for others who have yet

time. Let us on this Day of Remembrance honor our lost companions by
resolving to make it so.
