NASA Apollo 1 (1967) | Launch Pad 34 Cape Kennedy | Disaster | Astronauts: Grissom, White, Chaffee

NASA Apollo 1 (1967) | Launch Pad 34 Cape Kennedy | Fire Disaster | Astronauts Grissom, White, Chaffee Before Apollo 1's planned launch on February 21, 1967, the Command Module interior caught fire and burned on January 27, 1967, during a pre-launch test on Launch Pad 34 at Cape Kennedy. Astronauts Grissom, White, and Chaffee, who were working inside the closed Command Module, were asphyxiated. During the test, Grissom said, "How are we going to get to the Moon if we can't talk between two or three buildings," then shouted "fire!" The fire's ignition source was damaged wiring. The pilots' deaths were attributed to lethal hazards in the early CSM design and conditions of the test, including a pressurized 100 percent oxygen prelaunch atmosphere, wiring and plumbing flaws, flammable materials used in the cockpit and in the astronauts' flight suits, and an inward-opening hatch that could not be opened quickly in an emergency and not at all with full internal pressure. RIP to the Hero Astronauts!
