George W. Bush makes televised address after Columbia disaster
Close up of President George W. Bush, standing before a lectern with two microphones. He wears a dark suit with an American flag pin on his lapel, and he is standing in front of two flags, one of which is the American flag. He says: "These men and women assumed great risk in the service to all humanity. In an age when spaceflight has come to seem almost routine, it is easy overlook the dangers of travel by rocket, and the difficulties of navigating the fierce outer atmosphere of the earth. These astronauts knew the dangers, and they faced them willingly, knowing they had a high and noble purpose in life. Because of their courage and daring and idealism, we will miss them all the more."
