Resnik who died in the STS-51L space shuttle Challenger accident, Jan. 28, 1986.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>We have come here today not just to mourn Judy Resnik’s death, but even more to celebrate her life. And in my judgment, there is no better way to celebrate her life than to celebrate the cause for which she died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are a curious people, a nation that wonders about what we do not know, whether in laboratories or medical centers, from frontiers of the mind to frontiers of geography, and even beyond earth’s limitations. We are curious about what is beyond the next hill, the next river or mountain. What’s beyond the next bend in the road? \u2014we not only want to know the answer to that question, we even want to determine where that road will go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we are a questing people\u2014curiosity in action\u2014pushing back the boundaries of the unknown and adding to our storehouse of new knowledge that has served us so well. Within a tiny time frame of history we have leaped past the whole world with advances undreamed of just a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The freedoms we have most prized have not been just “freedoms from.” Our most important freedom is the “freedom to do,” to be curious, to be a questing people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conquest of space is not merely a technological project of interest to a handful of select scientists and specialists, valuable though that research and information may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is nothing less than an expression of a basic American spirit. After all, we’re the same people who tamed a continent, crossed frontiers, scaled mountains, and built the greatest strongest nation on earth. We see an opportunity, a challenge, think up a way to meet it, test it[,] adjust it and ultimately succeed with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We try, and we triumph. We try again and triumph again. And we try again and again and again, and our exultations know no bounds, for we triumph again and again, and then\u2014we are human, we are not perfect, we are fallible\u2014tragedy pays the price for triumph. It has been ever thus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hoped these past few days would never come. And for nearly a quarter of a century we pushed back the time we knew — intuitively — must sometime be, that day when despite all our best efforts, there would be a loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And our days of triumph have been many. This was the fifty sixth manned mission into space\u2014number 25 for the shuttle. These missions have utilized incredible powers, complexities and speeds of nearly 5 miles a second in orbit to garner a bountiful harvest of new information, new research and new human experience to add to our storehouse of knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, all Americans have shared in this tragedy that befell the Challenger crew. From my own experience, I have a deep personal sense of loss, and I could not help but recall that January day in 1967 when Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee also paid\u2014paid the price for triumph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let me speak of happiness. It has been my observation that the happiest of people, the vibrant doers of the world are almost always those who are using\u2014who are putting into play, calling upon, depending upon\u2014the greatest number of their God-given talents and capabilities. For them, curiosity is a way of life, and the quest for knowledge and the new is insatiable and exhilarating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it becomes many-fold more meaningful when put to use for a higher purpose, for something bigger than self, for a goal that calls on those individuals to dictate themselves to accomplishment for the betterment of our nation, and indeed for all mankind. The individual’s safety takes second place to that curiosity, that quest, that daring and dedication with the highest of purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judy Resnik, whom we both honor and memorialize here today, was such a person in every sense of those words. I know that from talking to her in my office after her first flight. She and her fellow crew members knew that exultation of accomplishment, the triumph of spirit that came from dedication to a purpose larger than themselves. They would never have joined those tepid and vacuous souls whose only goal is self-interest and safety, and neither can we.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judy and the other six members of the Challenger crew went aloft, as does every mission, with our hopes, our dreams and our aspirations as a nation riding with them. Their mission was not to be, but tragedy does not lessen the importance, the value, and the need for triumphs in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judy would be the first to say “Fix it and get on with it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our finest memorial, then, is one of dedication, in each of our lives, to those qualities Judy exemplified so well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dedication and quest of the seven Challenger astronauts must be our own\u2014for if that spirit dies, a part of America dies with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will not let that happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So as we reflect on Judy’s life, and Challenger’s last voyage in the days and weeks ahead, let’s never forget the last words that came from that spacecraft: “Go at throttle up[.]”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those are far more than a courageous epitaph. They are America’s history. They are America’s destiny. And they will turn tragedy into triumph once again.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"nasa-gb-align-full width-full maxw-full padding-x-3 padding-y-0 article_a hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-credits-and-details\">\n<section class=\"padding-x-0 padding-top-5 padding-bottom-2 desktop:padding-top-7 desktop:padding-bottom-9\">\n\t<div class=\"grid-row grid-container maxw-widescreen padding-0\">\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-2 padding-right-4 margin-bottom-5 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"padding-top-3 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-black\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"heading-14\">Share<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"padding-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-icons social-icons-round\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"social-icon social-icon-x\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?via=NASA&text=Remarks%20of%20Senator%20John%20Glenn%20at%20the%20Memorial%20Service%20for%20Judith%20Resnik&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nasa.gov%2Fmissions%2Fspace-shuttle%2Fsts-51l%2Fremarks-of-senator-john-glenn-at-the-memorial-service-for-judith-resnik%2F\" aria-label=\"Share on X.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"1200\" height=\"1227\" viewBox=\"0 0 1200 1227\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M714.163 519.284L1160.89 0H1055.03L667.137 450.887L357.328 0H0L468.492 681.821L0 1226.37H105.866L515.491 750.218L842.672 1226.37H1200L714.137 519.284H714.163ZM569.165 687.828L521.697 619.934L144.011 79.6944H306.615L611.412 515.685L658.88 583.579L1055.08 1150.3H892.476L569.165 687.854V687.828Z\" fill=\"white\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"social-icon social-icon-facebook\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nasa.gov%2Fmissions%2Fspace-shuttle%2Fsts-51l%2Fremarks-of-senator-john-glenn-at-the-memorial-service-for-judith-resnik%2F\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M9 8h-3v4h3v12h5v-12h3.642l.358-4h-4v-1.667c0-.955.192-1.333 1.115-1.333h2.885v-5h-3.808c-3.596 0-5.192 1.583-5.192 4.615v3.385z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"social-icon social-icon-linkedin\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nasa.gov%2Fmissions%2Fspace-shuttle%2Fsts-51l%2Fremarks-of-senator-john-glenn-at-the-memorial-service-for-judith-resnik%2F\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M4.98 3.5c0 1.381-1.11 2.5-2.48 2.5s-2.48-1.119-2.48-2.5c0-1.38 1.11-2.5 2.48-2.5s2.48 1.12 2.48 2.5zm.02 4.5h-5v16h5v-16zm7.982 0h-4.968v16h4.969v-8.399c0-4.67 6.029-5.052 6.029 0v8.399h4.988v-10.131c0-7.88-8.922-7.593-11.018-3.714v-2.155z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"social-icon social-icon-rss\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/feed\/\" aria-label=\"Subscribe to RSS feed.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 800 800\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M493 652H392c0-134-111-244-244-244V307c189 0 345 156 345 345zm71 0c0-228-188-416-416-416V132c285 0 520 235 520 520z\"\/><circle cx=\"219\" cy=\"581\" r=\"71\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-5 padding-right-4 margin-bottom-5 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"padding-top-3 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-black\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"heading-14\">Details<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row margin-bottom-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"subheading\">Last Updated<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-8\">Jul 25, 2023<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-5 padding-right-4 margin-bottom-5 desktop:margin-bottom-0\"><div class=\"padding-top-3 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-black \"><div class=\"margin-bottom-2\"><h2 class=\"heading-14\">Related Terms<\/h2><\/div><ul class=\"article-tags\"><li class=\"article-tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission\/sts-51l\/\">STS-51L<\/a><\/li><li class=\"article-tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/humans-in-space\/astronauts\/former-astronauts\/\">Former Astronauts<\/a><\/li><li class=\"article-tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/former-astronaut-john-h-glenn\/\">John H.
