SlashDot has a mention of the Apollo 1 tragedy. As I recall, the flight was a test flight (#214?) and was renamed Apollo 1 retroactively (and posthumously). When I attended Florida Institute of Technology (near Cape Canaveral), my dorm room was 202 Grissom Hall. Kennedy said we’d put a man on the Moon within the decade, and we did. A lot of heroes put their lives on the line–literally–to make that dream happen. I’m glad to see that some of these sacrifices aren’t forgotten as time passes on.
