NASA Observes Day of Remembrance Ahead of Columbia 20th Anniversary

We watched Columbia go up in a night time launch from Patrick AFB.
It was amazing seeing the night sky light up.

I left the Shuttle program a few months before the Challenger disaster.

Couldn't believe it when somebody listening to the launch, turned up the volume on their radio. Without hearing any details, we knew what must have happened.

Same as the RFK assassination, Dad had the morning TV news on, which was unusual, and so I knew as I came upstairs what must have happened.

Grissom put a lemon on the capsule—that tells you what he thought of the Apollo program.

He was still making sarcastic comments moments before the Apollo 1 fire—complaining about communications failure between the capsule on the ground and mission control.

NASA thought he needed an “attitude adjustment” and the rest of the astronauts needed to learn what happened to folks who were not “team players”.

Then NASA got to investigate themselves and declared themselves innocent of all wrongdoing.

If you dig a little bit you can learn that Grissom’s wife believed he was murdered.
