Remember Apollo 1
Posted about 26 days ago on Tom's Astronomy Blog
On this date 45 years ago, (January 27, 1967) the space program lost three of its finest in a tragic cabin fire of Apollo 1.
Apollo 1 was to be the first manned mission of the series of missions that would take the US to moon.
Lost that day, but not forgotten:
Command Pilot: Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom
Senior Pilot: Edward H. White II
Pilot: Roger B. Chaffee
