Rated • 1 review • history, space exploration • nasa.gov
Orig print 2007..."On an ordinary Friday evening, Jan. 27, forty years ago, the Apollo launch team was hard at work at Launch Pad 34 on Cape Canaveral. A full dress rehearsal was in progress for the Apollo 1 mission, the first manned mission in the Apollo Program."
"At 6:31 p.m., the unthinkable happened. The vehicle rocked twice as the alarm 'Fire!' rang out from inside the capsule."
