        I remember it so clearly, & the thought was hard to get out of my mind. My Dad, who fought in WWII, said that they were military, and they understood the dangers but they believed in the mission. They were heroes. He said it would be disrespectful to their memories not to go on.

        Sad day. Yet...I was lucky as kid in Indiana to attend Gus Grissom Middle School—with a planetarium in our science wing...inspiring a lot of kids to look to the stars

        My dad worked on the Apollo project and knew Ed White. The tragedy is like a silent tombstone in our family history. It devastated everyone on the project.

        I lived near Cape Canaveral (now Kennedy) back then and the sadness in the air was palpable... They were the best and brightest, then they were gone... That day, the enormity of the task at hand and its dangers, first struck home...

        As a child, I looked up to these men. I dreamed of being an astronaut. My heart still breaks when I see their hopeful faces.

        Tears filled my nine year old eyes the day these heroes died. I'll never forget that day...or them.

        Roger Chaffee was from my home town. We were so proud of him in Grand Rapids.
