Read this excerpt from "President Ronald Reagan's Address to the Nation" following the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle. O He is proud of the space program and looks forward to further exploration. O He is secretive about the space program and wants to hide its discoveries. O He is embarrassed by the space program and hopes to improve its mission. He is confused by the space program and wants a clearer understanding. I'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. We 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 anquish. We share it." Which statement best describes President Reagan's attitude toward the space program?
