fuckyeahspaceexploration: Timeline #12 1967: The crew of Apollo 1 - Ed White, Chuck Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee - expressed their concerns with the safety of the Command Module (CM), in particular, the amount of flammable material on board. This crew portrait parody was a photograph they sent to the programme manager. Five months later, all three were incinerated within seconds when a fire broke out during a launch rehearsal, inside the oxygen-rich atmosphere of the CM. Very sad. Astronauts know best…always. RIP
