[Semper911]

"If we die, we want people to accept it. We're in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life."

- Gus Grissom, Commander, Apollo 1, speaking a few weeks before his death in the Apollo 1 fire.

Thanks for the quote from Gus Grissom. I still remember the day he died. He was my all-time favorite astronaut.

God rest each one who has died in the pursuit of space.
