Man in the Moon: President Kennedy's speech in Congress
RIP Apollo 1 crew.
Ad Astra per Aspera 🌟🇺🇸 RIP heroes. Never forgotten. 1/27/1967, 57 years ago today. Gus Grissom Roger Chaffee Ed White
JFK forced the entire country to meet an arbitrary deadline
Someone linked this because the real Frank Borman just died - another to rest in peace
100% oxygen atmosphere with an inward opening hatch. The hatch being designed that way because they didn't want it blowing off like with Liberty Bell 7. As horrible as it is to say this, had it not happened they probably would never have got to the Moon before 1970. Not with the differences between the block I and II spacecraft. Or a similar or greater disaster would have unfolded out in space. What if this kind of event had happened around the Moon? It could have killed the program right there and then.
If your science teacher told you to never ever underestimate the speed of fire, now you know why. Whatever can take a minute or two to describe can happen in just 15 seconds.

Would have thought in their suits that they would have had a chance. But they were connected to the spacecraft systems and thus breathed the fumes. When the ground crew finally got the hatch open most of their suits were still white. An unprecedented and preventable disaster which forced everyone to stop and take a damn good look at themselves.
The seats were changed shortly after that, and we're a lot more dependable. You are correct, however that Stu Rosa said the suits were white and the bodies were not charred [though they did suffer severe burns].
Imagine the conditions inside that craft.. the heat would have climbed to an unbearable temperature. The pressure inside grew high enough to seal thee inward opening hatch closed. It could not be opened no matter how much they tried. If the heat and the pressure didnt get them, the fumed would have(even with the spacesuits). They had no chance. From what I have read, the heat emanating from the command module was so high, that it was quite some time before the "white room" crew could enter the white room. After this fire, the idea of testing on the pad with a pure oxygen atmosphere at 18psi pressure was abandoned due to the risks it posed.
They all had third degree burns across 33-50%+ of their bodies. Their suits melted
Rubbish, their suits were all melted to a significant extent with Gus' sustaining the most damage as he was closest to the seat of the fire, it in fact took several hours to remove each crew member from the capsule due to their suits melding them to their seats. They all experienced third degree burns to over 1/3 of their bodies.
Why were there no fire extinguishers in the capsule?
too heavy? would they spray properly in space?
What could they use? Water and foam would short the electrics ( and probably wouldn't work in space anyway) CO2 and halon would compromise the breathing atmosphere. Dry power would just float around.... 🫤
They all had "the right stuff" .
15 seconds, it was a very rapid death but definitely felt like ages to the crew. Absolutely horrible all around. They probably finally realized there was no way possible to get out right before the explosion.
The autopsy confirmed they died of toxic fume inhalation and those fumes only formed after a crack emerged in the hatch that displaced some of the 100% oxygen in the cockpit allowing smoke to form which they inhaled through breathing tubes burned through by fire. Realistically it took about 60 seconds and if you sit there and count it out that is not quick. However these men had wives and children and I doubt anyone wanted to admit how bad this was at the time.
I think we should stop this witch hunt, and let us go to the moon
A oué tema le speech
What a horrible way to die
Who's fault? My fault Love that line! Beuracrats sitting back wanting to place blame and point fingers. I'm actually surprised no other fatalities occurred during Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. Such a monumental undertaking. Yet NASA lost two shuttle missions
Every man who worked on Apollo... How true those words, because everyone did feel guilty--like they had let the crew down personally And every one did their best to make sure it didn't happen again Even when it did, with 13, they got them home alive
Вечная память
Giving up when there's a problem is not American. Those astronauts believed in what they were doing and gave their lives for it. I think that's the problem today. We fail. We fail to react accordingly, we cancel and get rid of things that we don't understand or want to try to. The slightest flaw means it's gone. We scare easily and look for a place where we can cry in our safe places and safe spaces. We expect the trophy because we participated and not realize the effort that goes into it. The individual grade as opposed to the absolutes of life. Succeed or fail. There's no A for trying. We're so quick to erase who we are and put down values. Are we going to be hated by a future generation for what we do in our present?
Give me some examples instead of cliched generalities.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh
Sheesh
Gus: Fire Ed: We gotta fire in the cockpit Roger: We gotta bad fire
Two things never happened again after that day. The sisters never again tested in pure oxygen without an explosive release hatch. and Gus never flew again. They shipped him to a special room in heaven upstate, to the best of my mind he spent his days watching his friends fly successful after successful mission, and he was with loving every second of it. And that was it, that was Gus’s routine…..
I get it.
Why am I hearing Morgan Freeman’s narration? (Mark Ralston. An actor for all seasons)
It’s my fault. Words to live by and say out loud.
Grissom: Fire! White: We've got a fire in the cockpit!
I said how are we going to get to the moon if we can't talk between two or three buildings?
What a tragedy!
This is untrue. They did imagine this possibility and chose oxygen rich anyway. They did no safety test nor give caution to material selection. In fact, oxygen rich fires in chambers have happened before this test. More honestly, they needed a caring safety specialist who is qualified and obsessively knowledgeable about details. It was hydrocarbon derived materials within pressurized 100% ultra-reactive oxygen inside a sealed container. The energetic, instability potential would've been obvious to any explosives specialist to be the equivalent of a crude oxyliquit (liquid oxygen) bomb which had been well known to be sensitive to sparks or even less. The lack of imagination to hire someone like that I could agree with.
There were some accidents with space travel and using an oxygen rich environment. The problem is that they were all in the Soviet Union, which hid them. Oddly enough, it made sense. Hell, they kept such an environment even after this accident. Mainly because nitrogen has a bunch of risks in such a situation and can be heavy to haul in space. The big issue was all the wiring and other problems with the craft. But, all of those issues were known. The Block I Command Module was a damned mess and everyone knew it. But, NASA was under pressure, so they went ahead with it anyway.
@@kingofthings7929 as much as this is late; Harrison Storms went off on NASA for using this sort of environment. NASA did not use pure oxygen after the findings were released, they went back to a mix
@@thatoneskierdude4410 Only during launch, after Apollo 1 of course. See, Oxygen is something you gotta haul for air and fuel. Nitrogen would only be there to mix with oxygen. So, they’d launch with the mix of Nitrogen and Oxygen, then vent the nitrogen and replace the atmosphere of the capsule with pure oxygen.
the fakers believe they been drinking margaritas and sunning for the last 50 yrs on a beach in south amerca
Probably there was someone who thought of it and was told to shut up by a superior.
do you have any more of them Pixels?
Gus: fire Ed: we gotta fire in the cockpit Roger: we gotta bad fire
I was nine years old when this happened. As a little boy i was confused and thought they had actually flown the spacecraft. Years later I realized it was a flight simulation. But the images of Roger Chaffee, Edward White and Gus Grissom will forever live in my mind. Brave Men. Let us Remember Major Robert H. Lawrence Jr. Elliot See and Charlie Basset along with the Space Shuttle crew members lost in the quest to explore outer space.
It's funny how David Andrews plays Frank Borman in this, and Pete Conrad in Apollo 13.
A fair number of _Apollo 13_ actors showed up, albeit in different roles.
Brett Cullen and the actor who played John Young..and Roger Chafee as well
He in For All Mankind aswell And Chris kraft in 2020 the right stuff, and Gene krantz in “for all mankind” are both played by the same guy. And kraft and krantz has the same job as flight director.
He also played General Creswell in the last season of JAG as well
Paul McCrane is the best Pete Conrad...
This accident was normal... I was not alive back then, I was born exactly when the Apollo XI was returning to earth after their whole adventure... But what I remember well was Ayrton Senna's fatal accident at the Tamburello fast corner, at Imola's track... going 270 km/h, that's quite a lot more than a whole street block per second. These guys, either seeking to expand the science and engineering envelope in the race to space or to do so in the two dimensional way we call the most extreme technological automobile racing... they are doing an extremely dangerous thing, and even with the most extreme safety measures bad things will occur, and did. Not sure if Gorman did spoke at the Senate hearings, but if he did I wish he or someone like him could have spoken at the F1 hearings back then at 1994 and 95... because the witch trials continued for years after Senna and Ratzemberger's accidents, and blame was thrown and accusations were made: Williams Racing got a severe penalty, one which would cripple their sponsor relationship forever. And it was just an accident. Gus, Ed and Roger... along other men who have risk their lives because it's their job, not just extreme athletes like Senna, or Villeneuve, or Clark... they are heroes, and I guess it was a better way to go than having a very mundane skiing accident while almost standing still (Michael Schumacher)... horrible to die burning, but damn it I think I would prefer it than having a pointless life and death: Apollo I's crew were exceptional. Sorry, I had to write this... damn good TV series, and I am glad you posted this video. Thanks
Great episode.
oh hey they left out how they threw gus under the bus (again)
I'm not the conspiracy cook type, but some had actually speculated that it wasn't just just a design flaw that compromised the cabin. Now I understand that a pure oxygen environment mixed with overlaid unshielded circuitry, a hatch that could not properly open when it needed to be, and nylon webbing all around the cabin sound like a perfect combination for a cascade effect that resulted in the crew's deaths. I have wondered though if because of several incidents of bad publicity on the part of Gus Grissom if there could have been foul play in the mix. I'm not talking about the KGB or lizard men or something of that nature but maybe something internal.
+Cody Braddock grissom white or chaffe could have farted and it would have started the fire...it was an absolute death trap. no i dont think nasa murdered them. but they might as well have
my favorite scenes from this episode I can't seem to find, I love the scene where they demonstrate velcro bursting into flame in 100% oxygen environment, and also other scenes showing the tension between NASA and the contractor. Excellent acting.
@Cody Braddock Are you fucking kidding me. Instead of just quietly removing him from the flight line, they wasted who knows how many millions of dollars building a death machine for the sole purpose of assassinating Gus Grissom with the collateral damage of two other astronauts, one of whom was the first American to perform an EVA in orbit? Get your head out of your ass.
@@ChaoticBattleCamel This is the dumbest take. If they wanted Gus dead, there are much easier ways......ways that don't involve delaying the entire Apollo program by two years.
🔥 is the worst way to go plus the smoke killed the crew not the fire
I can't imagine their terror until the fire burned through their suit air hoses and they mercifully passed out and suffocated....
Right. There's a brief scene earlier in the episode where Joe Shea (Kevin Pollak) recalls examining the capsule interior after the crew had been removed from it and Deke Slayton (Nick Searcy) standing nearby notes that the crew asphyxiated from the smoke rather than burned to death.
Looks like, according to the recordings, that they burned to death
🔥💯frfr
That phrase "a failure of imagination" has always stuck with me. It's amazing to realize how many man-made disasters occur because somebody didn't think it could go wrong in that way.
It genuinely shows that regardless of how unlikely something seems, the right safety measures must be taken whatever happens.
This is the first time I saw my father cry two days after my 12 birthday will never forget that day
This episode or the real fire in ‘67?

"Spaceflight is terribly unforgiving. Unforgiving of carelessness, incapacity, or neglect. I don't know what the Thompson Committee will find is the cause of this accident, but I know what I find. WE were the cause. Our simulators weren't ready, our software in Mission Control didn't function, procedures weren't complete, nothing we did had any shelf life, and NOBODY stood up and said "DAMMIT, STOP!!!" - Gene Kranz
kind of creepy that they reused the Saturn Ib rocket for another flight but I think that the crew would have wanted that...
There was no problem with the rocket, they aren't just going to throw away a billion dollar machine if it's not apparently faulty in some way. The problem existed only within the capsule.
@@zeph0shade The documentary _Failure Is Not an Option_ had an eerie clip where they were hauling away that S-IV for refurbishing with a tarp-like covering at the top (where the CSM once was perched).
