I was watching part of the program before we came in, and let me say how exciting I think the efforts of the Spacemobilers and astronauts are to teach students about space and space exploration. / When I was a kid, we had some idols we thought were out of this world. With people like Charlie Bolden and Tammy Jernigan -- they really are. // It's also a privilege to be with so many fine students interested in learning about the future of space. And I especially want to salute the national winners of the Space Science Student Involvement Program who are in the studio with us. Their academic achievement deserves special recognition. // ((You know, looking forward to today, for a few minutes I was a hero with one of my young grandkids. When I told her I was going to be on television, she thought I had finally made it to "Sesame Street. ")) // As you begin the school year, think of what you can make of the future. Many of you are the Class of the Year 2000. In NASA lingo, that's T minus 8 years, 3 months, and 13 days. // You -- the students of today -- will help keep America the world's leader. All of you can turn learning into an adventure. // 5 2 To do this you have to prepare not just by studying but by studying hard -- especially math and science. / That means doing what I too often failed to do -- homework. It means setting goals -- both for you and for America. / This is why our Administration and the Nation's Governors created six National Educational Goals -- one of which is to be first in the world in math and science. Together, you can help say of American education: "All systems are go. " // Ours is a changing world. Just think: Since I've been talking to you, we have traveled more than 67,500 miles through space -- nearly one quarter the distance from the Earth to the moon. // And since this telecast began, the astronauts orbiting in the Space Shuttle Discovery have traveled half way around the planet Earth -- about 12,000 miles. And even if you don't end up working in space, what you learn about math and science and all the rest of the subjects you study will help you for the rest of your life. So do your best.
