A tragedy of immense significance —— almost ended the Apollo program. A sad loss of life all too young.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Shouldn’t that be 42 years ago?

[Badeye]

Worth noting Walter Mondale tried to use this to end the space program.

It may have saved many lives and accidents down the line but what a price to pay.

RIP Gus, Ed and Roger.

Remember that day ... I was a young Marine on a training exercise on the island of Vieques, PR when we heard the news. Had a crusty old E-6 that was in in charge of our FDC team ... he was unaware of the news until we told him. He cried ...

“Take a trip with me in 1967
With Grissom, White, and Chaffee on a rocket ride to heaven
A dead-end date aboard AS-204
It was American made
Only the best for our boys
And we were rockin’ at the T-Dance...”

Yes, I remember the shocking and sad day...

The episode of “From the Earth to the Moon” about Apollo I was fascinating. Just shows what kind of visionaries (i.e. Walter Mondale) are out there who believe they can and should run this country.

Even a child can understand the supernatural idiocy of placing humans in a 100 percent oxygen environment where there’s electrical circuits.

I lived in Houston around a lot of NASA people who knew & worked with the astronauts...it was a bad, sad time.
