On January 27, 1967 6:31:04, a fire broke out in the cockpit of command module 012. In less than 15 seconds Virgil Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee, and Ed White were killed. This beat us back very far on the road to the Moon with the race with the Russians.
Please remember this day, and America should not forget it.
