2024年1月11日 · " As the smoke cleared they found the bodies, but were not able to remove them. The fire had partly melted Grissom's and White's nylon space suits and the hoses connecting them to the life support system. Grissom had removed his restraints and was lying on the floor of the spacecraft.

2022年5月18日 · Haven't been back to Houston TX in 40yrs, but a revisit to the Kennedy Space Center is on my bucket list. My dad was a crash/rescue firefighter stationed at Ellington AFB back in the mid 60's, me and my mom was on base the day that astronaut hit a goose trying to land a T-38, he was called out for the crash and me and my mom seen the Air Force ambulance when it came back on base, when they ...

The body of former Italian Prime Minister, Aldo Moro in the boot of a Renault 4. He had been kidnapped and held hostage for 55 days and was eventually shot 10 times on this day in 1978.

2014年1月29日 · For Columbia, it would be a lot worse than these suits-- according to reports, many of the astronauts' bodies did not return to Earth in one piece, and many human body parts were still inside pieces of the suits that were found scattered throughout the debris trail left behind by the break up of Columbia. It would be too morbid to look at it.

2011年3月7日 · These are pictures taken of the astronauts just after the Apollo 1 tragedy on January 27, 1967. I always thought these were photos of the burned suits. But if you look at the first 2, Grissom and White, you can very clearly see their faces. On January 27, 1967, a cabin fire during a pre-flight test for the Apollo 1 mission at Cape Kennedy Air Force Station claimed the lives of three astronauts ...

2019年8月18日 · It is a weird and unfortunate overlap. Apollo 1 was a terrible blow to manned spaceflight, but without the lessons learned from it, I'm certain a worse accident would have occurred during a live flight and if astronauts died in space, that probably would have ended the program for good. Grissom, White and Chaffee most certainly didn't die in vain.

2023年5月14日 · What matters is less the percentage of oxygen, more the partial pressure of oxygen. So, 20% oxygen at 1 atm (atmospheric pressure) is the same as 100% oxygen at 0.2 atm. The reason you want to do the latter is spacesuits. A spacesuit pressurized to 1 atm would not allow the astronaut inside to move much.

Remains of astronaut Gus Grissom after the Apollo 1 disaster - The whole crew is burned alive during a training rehearsal.

2019年6月19日 · The Apollo 1 mission on January 26th, 1967, went horribly wrong. It was a test of the space capsule to take American astronauts to the moon, and it was the first test of it on its own internal power. However, a spark from a short circuit in the pure oxygen environment set off a fire that burned 1,000 degrees and killed Gus Grissom, Ed White ...

Apollo 1, initially designated AS-204, was the first crewed mission of the United States Apollo program, the undertaking to land the first man on the Moon. It was planned to launch on February 21, 1967, as the first low Earth orbital test of the Apollo command and service module. The mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test …
