Honestly it's the last minute of the speech that gets me, ever since I was a kid, I remember hear it this on Tv as a tyke. "Slipped the slurry bonds of Earth to touch the face of God." It honestly makes me weep like a lamb. He was the great communicator for a reason.
Honestly, this is one of the most statesmanlike speeches of all time. No politics, no cheap jabs, just a genuine heartfelt eulogy. He read the room absolutely perfectly.
I was to young to remember Reagan, I was born in 85, but I love listening to him speak. And I wish I was older during his presidency. My favorite speech he gave was “We Must Fight.” It gives me goosebumps every time.
A Very Truly Touching and In-depth speech that Traumatically defines the Presidency of Ronald Reagan on that very Fateful and Tragic Day of January 28th, 1986 just five months before I was actually born and will always be remembered as the national tragedy of that Presidential Period in American History and that to the Space Shuttle Crew Of The Challenger you’ll live on forever in all of us 😥😥😪😰 Long Live The Crew Of The Space Shuttle Challenger 😪😥1986
This was a fantastic speech. Reagan always gave amazing speeches, but this and his address at their memorial service on January 31st were his two most eloquent.
A Truly Tragic and touching Speech that strongly defines both the year 1986 that I was born in and Ronald Reagan’s Presidential Legacy itself ! 😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢
I was in third grade, and I remember all our teachers herding into one room to watch his speech. Even that young, I understood every word he said directly to us, the schoolchildren. They didn't call him The Great Communicator for nothing. He understood us so well, and was an incredibly empathetic leader, a real man if I ever saw one. I miss him deeply.
Trumps inability to even for a second come across like a president who addresses the entire nation and brings people together brought me back here. Ronald Reagan well earned the title of the great communicator, everything about this speech hit exactly the right tone. This is more than just being a good actor, this shows a profound ability to resonate with people. I didn’t care for Reagan’s politics but as a political operator and an orator he was fantastic - reassuring, commanding and charismatic.
I remember when i watched this live on my house with my classmates when we saw the explosion, we were jaw dropped, we were all crying, we were all petrified... Godbless the crew of 7
Ronald Reagan with the early onset of Alzheimer's in his second term (1985-1989) still spoke with more clarity than Donald Trump does. The Republican party needs another Ronald Reagan.
We all need another Reagan, he brought hope to us during the 80s, now we fight over a person saying an offensive world. It is sad how quickly we have let our world fall into chaos
No, it came from an interview Reagan had with CBS's Leslie Stahl. Stahl said when she met with Reagan he didn't seem to know who she was but kind of snapped out of it and proceeded normally with the talk. White House aides told Stahl, Reagan had those episodes before. So it was Reagan's own people talking like that about him, not the Democrats.
Just Recently I Was Watching Alternate History Hub On UA-cam And The Video Segment Called What If Reagan Wasn’t President ? And What It Would Have Been Like If George H. W. Bush Was In His Place As The President Of The United States From 1980 To 1988 And Can You Imagine If George H.W. Bush Were Giving This Speech As To The Nation As President On That Night Of January 28th, 1986 Following The Challenger Disaster In Such A Scenario ???? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 ????

Yep. I may be a socialist, but this is a great speech.

Slipped the surly bonds of Earth, to touch the face of God.
Gets me every time.
I've seen this many times but every time he addresses the school children I can't help but tear up.
One of Ronald Regans best speeches. I remember it was like yeaterday. Still brings tears to my eyes. Delivered with such grace and and emotion.

Long Live The Crew Of The Space Shuttle Challenger 😪😥1986
I'll never forget this....
Doesn’t matter what your political views are, this was an amazing speech.

Such a comforting voice of days past.
A Truly Tragic and touching Speech that strongly defines both the year 1986 that I was born in and Ronald Reagan’s Presidential Legacy itself ! 😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢
One of his best speeches.
Man. Makes me tear up and I wasn’t even alive when it happened.
How nice to hear Reagan now. What a different time it was! It was better in the past. If I get a time machine I m going back to the 50s 60s and 70s.
Love the last line! It was included in the Kenny G Auld Lang Syne Milenial Mix.
Watched this live on tv. Oh how I miss President Reagan! What a true leader!

Brilliant speech. I was in my fourth grade class watching the Challenger Tragedy.
Heather Metz then you understood what it takes to take risks.
Heather Metz I was in 2nd grade watching, it was surreal.
I was in the 5th grade. Sad day 😢
I remember when i watched this live on my house with my classmates when we saw the explosion, we were jaw dropped, we were all crying, we were all petrified... Godbless the crew of 7
🙏🇺🇸🙏
This speech is in every Chinese elementary school students' textbooks.
黄梓聪 may i ask why? Is the challenger explosion a big thing for china?
@@nikesweatshirt3681Probably because China hasn't lost an Cosmo/Astronaut yet & this is an example of why not to lose one.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The Great Communicator
This was on my mother's 33rd birthday😢
The Great Communicator.
This is definitely not a poggers reagan moment

@@masoniclight364 True. He wasn't perfect by any means, but he was a definite improvement over Carter.
Ronald Reagan I wish he still alive he is the best president. Now and days the NASA don’t u people think they r hiding some stuff from all of us.
No, conspiratard.
Remember when he Democrats said Reagan was senile at this point?

@jogman262 that's not what I'm referring to whatsoever,thanks professor
@@DEEPENFRIENDSHIP The Democrats never said that about Reagan.
@jogman262 people in general did the entire time because he was old,I'm not talking about a soundbite moron.
Imagine trump doing that speech
I don’t even want to imagine how disrespectful he would be to their memory if he ever got the chance.
typo in your title "explodes" vs "expodes" fyi

U would NEVER find Donald Trump doing this !! And I'm a Democrat !!!!
Of course he would but Reagan pulled it off the best.
Obama wouldn't do it either. So fuck you're liberal bullshit.
Johan Retsler reagan was an always an actor, his acting skills payed off in this speech
Knowing Trump he'd be too busy playing golf
@@ajarmetta Reagan wasn't "acting" in the speech. You're an idiot and a cynic, how original.
