The rocket wasn’t even fueled when the Apollo 1 fire happened.

Not sure if that is a good analogy. I do remember the event. Horrible. Just horrible.

The portrayal of it in “From The Earth to The Moon” miniseries was pretty wrenching, IIRC.

Gus, who died during a ground test, inside a building, in an all-oxygen breathing mixture conflagration in a not-ready-for-primetime Apollo capsule with exposed wiring? Is that the Gus Grissom you mean?
