And I want to say something to the school children of America who were watching the live coverage of the shuttle"s take-off.I know it"s hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen.It"s all part of the process of exploration and discovery.AIt"s all part of taking a chance and expanding man"s horizons.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.

BI"ve always had great faith in and respect for our space program. And what happened today does nothing to diminish it.We don"t hide our space program.CWe don"t keep secrets and cover things up.We do it all up front and in public.That"s the way freedom is, and we wouldn"t change it for a minute.

We"ll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space.Nothing ends here;our hopes and our journeys continue.

I want to add that I wish I could talk to every man and woman who works for NASA, or who worked on this mission and tell them:“Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades. And we know of your anguish.We share it.”

There"s a coincidence today. On this day three hundred and ninety years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard ship off the coast of Panama.In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and a historian later said,“He lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it.”Well, today, we can say of the Challenger crew:Their dedication was, like Drake"s, complete.

The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and“slipped the surly bonds of earth”to“touch the face of God.”

It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I accept this prize.I am grateful to my wife Rosalynn, to my colleagues at The Carter Center, and to many others who continue to seek an end to violence and suffering throughout the world.AThe scope and character of our Center"s activities are perhaps unique, but in many other ways they are typical of the work being done by many hundreds of nongovernmental organizations that strive for human rights and peace.BMost Nobel laureates have carried out our work in safety, but there are others who have acted with great personal courage.None has provided more vivid reminders of the dangers of peacemaking than two of my friends, Anwar Sadat and Yitzhak Rabin, who gave their lives for the cause of peace in the Middle East.

Like these two heroes, my first chosen career was in the military, as a submarine officer. My shipmates and I realized that we had to be ready to fight if combat was forced upon us, and we were prepared to give our lives to defend our nation and its principles.At the same time, we always prayed fervently that our readiness would ensure that there would be no war.

CLater, as president and as Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces, I was one of those who bore the sobering responsibility of maintaining global stability during the height of the Cold War, as the world"s two superpowers confronted each other.

Both sides understood that an unresolved political altercation or a serious misjudgment could lead to a nuclear holocaust. ln Washington and in Moscow, we knew that we would have less than a half hour to respond after we learned that intercontinental missiles had been launched against us.There had to be a constant and delicate balancing of our great military strength with aggressive diplomacy, always seeking to build friendships with other nations, large and small, that shared a common cause.
