      It was an allusion to the Challenger tragedy. In President Reagan’s address to the nation that evening he said “they slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God.”
      It is one of, if not the, single greatest televised addresses from the Oval Office in American history.

And so it continnues trough every administration aftervard, and sometimes (very rarely) the crazy ideas and proposals turn out to be not so crazy afterall. They may even start new reforms that make the world a little better place.

    He's actually quoting a poem called "High Flight", by John Travis McGee, an RAF pilot of the Second World War.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
    Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
    Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
    You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
    High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
    I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
    My eager craft through footless halls of air...
    Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
    I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
    Where never lark or even eagle flew --
    And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    This is one of a couple scenes (along with them in the kitchen earlier in this episode) that makes me wonder about the back story between Josh and Zoey. I don't think anyone else would have the moxie to say "Yeah, right, about her celibacy in front of her dad. Jed and Leo have been friends for a long time. Josh's dad and Leo were friends for a long time. Seems like Josh has known Zoey since she was little, sort of in a big brother role. What do you think?

      Josh did not know Jed before he went to New Hampshire at the start of the campaign. He would have met Zoey, Elizabeth, and probably Ellie during that campaign

    After every time I hear Trump's press conference on T.V., I have to watch a snippet from West wing to stop my head spinning.
    I need the fiction to reduce the suffering inflicted by the reality.

      The touched the face of God was used by Reagan after Challenger. Written by speechwriter Peggy Noonan, who was an advisor on the show.

    Something to think that Zoe is the first member of Jeb's family to appear in the series.
