- On March 30th, 1981, while leaving the Washington Hilton Hotel after giving a speech, Reagan was shot by John W. Hinckley, Jr. Despite being shot, Reagan survived the attack and his popularity soars, with his approval rating rising to 70%. Questions of his physical stamina and strength as the oldest serving president were quickly thrust aside.
- In the midst of the Cold War, with tensions still rising between the U.S. and Soviet Union, Reagan called for the Strategic Defense Initiative, or as the media dubbed it, "Star Wars". Calling for a massive space satellite to intercept and destroy Soviet missiles, the initiative served as an example of Reagan's massive military defense spending.

- Farewell, my fellow Americans!
- On January 28th, 1986, the nation watched as NASA's Challenger shuttle exploded in midair moments after takeoff.

The speech increased his popularity.
