My step-father worked in the space program - I remember this day so clearly. Horrible & heartbreaking tragedy.

Tragic, and unfortunately NASA would make some of the same mistakes in January 1986.

Webb called LBJ from a dinner at the International Club following the signing of the space treaty at the WH. Dan Rather arrived minutes later and tried to get Webb on the record, but he wouldn't say anything. Von Braun, also there, did speak to Rather but not on camera.

I remember this vividly. even though I was only 9. I was completely in awe of everything space related. Every splashdown I would worry until the capsule opened and they came out.

Very tragic loss. But the fire investigation resulted in http://I.D.ing many flaws which would’ve prevented a successful Apollo 11 flight in 1969.

I was space/astronaut crazy as a kid, and wrote letters to some of the astronauts, Gus Grissom among them. He was very gracious and sent me a picture. I was thrilled and still have it today.pic.twitter.com/zPEZbLPSh9

I was the same kind of kid. Thanks for sharing the Gus Grissom photo, he was a favorite of mine. I was 9 when he and the others lost their lives.
