1967: The tragedy of Apollo I
We remember another anniversary of the Apollo I tragedy on this day in 1967.
The men killed that day were Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Edward H White and Roger B Chafee. They died in capsule fire a few weeks before their launch date.
The tragedy was a great loss for NASA.
At the same time, the "bench" was so deep that other men stepped up and Apollo 11 landed on the moon in July 1969.
