Except Apollo 1, wasn't it Tim? That's the one where Virgil Grissom
and the other astronauts on that flight were sacrificed to the Gods as
were the crew members of SS Columbia and SS Challenger. All in the
name of 'progress'.

But sometimes you have to take 2 steps back to take 1 step forward.

Lt. Col. Edward White II and Naval Lt. Cmdr. Roger Chaffee.

Should've been a Saturn V.


Hate to say it, but the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs were
transient and short-lived. The shuttle has had a much longer presence
in Florida and will be America's first long-term commitment to a
specific spacecraft and represents the present space exploration effort
(as of when that coin was put out anyway).



True, but Apollo went somewhere.
