(8) well 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.

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze the relevant text in paragraphs 7 and 8. In paragraph 7, the phrases "I've always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it" and "We don't hide our space program... We do it all up front and in public" show commitment. In paragraph 8, "We'll continue our quest in space", "There will be more shuttle flights... more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space", and "Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue" directly support the idea that the space program will endure. So we select these relevant sentences from paragraphs 7 and 8.

Answer:

From paragraph 7: "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."

From paragraph 8: "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."
