  Damn! I was five days old when that happened. And here we are almost 57 years later discussing it. I agree, there's many engineers, or programmers these days who believe know stuff better than people actually using it. Really sad when human lives are lost because of it.

  #OTD in 1961 Valentin Bondarenko (chosen to be among the first group of cosmonauts) died during a training (death was caused by fire in a sealed, high-oxygen environment, which later also befell the crew of #Apollo1). May God rest the soul of His breath! https://twitter.com/ghimmelmann/status/315208656754987008?s=20 …
