NASA's Day of Remembrance

Today is NASA's Day of Remembrance.

The deaths of the Apollo 1 astronauts in 1967 set the nations resolve to get to the moon.

I can still remember where I was during the Challenger disaster.

Unfortunately the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster is forgotten by many.

Not today!

Apollo 1

50-years ago today - pure oxygen, a single spark, and death in 17 seconds.
