I take no picture credit for any photos having been taken by NASA and NASA photographers, for obvious reasons. Thank you.

kaiyves: asonlynasacan: Here’s a view of the memorial today at Complex 34 at CCAFS. Being there at 6:31 pm really undid me. It was a lovely service and I felt incredibly honored to be there. RIP always. Must have been a really emotional experience. It was…I’m not gonna deny that I cried. It was very moving.

Grissom and White families.
I don’t have a lot of Chaffee photos, but here’s one.
What would have Gus done if he had lived past 1967? Here’s my take…
garyschroeder: Virgil I. Grissom (April 3, 1926 – January 27, 1967), (Lt Col, USAF), better known as “Gus” Grissom, was one of the original NASA Project Mercury astronauts and a United States Air Force pilot. He was the second American to fly in space, and the first member of the NASA Astronaut Corps to fly in space twice. Grissom was killed along with fellow astronauts Ed White and Roger Chaffee during a pre-launch test for the Apollo 1 mission at Cape Canaveral, Florida. He was the first of the Mercury Seven to die. This is my all-time favorite photo of Gus. RIP, old buddy.
