This isn't going to be a tribute documentary, it's a back-door CT "expose", and anyone who chooses to appear in this film and relate their memories are going to find themselves quoted out of context to provide "credible" reports to back up "scott's" insane claims. He'd probably be better off just financing a snuff flick featuring LaDouchebagge... OM -- "No ******* ever won a war by dying for | http://www.io.com/~o_m his country.

Something about the study of history is that everything subsequent to
an event becomes part of that event's history. The Grissom family feels that there was something wrong with the events surrounding the fire and has brought it to the attention of the public. I see no reason that it should net be addressed in the documentary. To do otherwise would be telling a one-sided story. How the family was treated, and their subsequent theories, is now part of the Apollo 1 story, like it or not. Had the agencies involved done a little more to address the concerns of the families immediately following the fire, the hostility might not be there. Maybe people need to know that part too. |

What they *have not done* is provide any verifiable, relevant evidence that shows what happened was anything other than an accident. "scott" has provided a few interesting items, but when asked to show in clear, unambiguous terms how it supports his claims of wrongdoing, he instead provides insults. We are expected to just take their word for it, and that's not how it works. To date, *not one person* who has claimed that the events of Apollo 1 was anything but an accident has provided any solid evidence that has survived close examination. They *have* shown that, without exception, they do not know the most elementary mathematics, engineering, or even the basics of the scientific method. They do not show even what limited understanding would be apparent to a regular watcher of "CSI", and when asked to support their findings, resort to insults. In fact, they *universally* demonstrate that they don't even believe their own claims, since if they really believed a crime had been committed, they'd be able to provide verifiable information about the law enforcement personnel they contacted to report the crime. Either they are lying, since they don't believe what they are saying, or they are so irresponsible by not reporting a crime that they cannot be trusted. |

"Something about the study of history is that everything subsequent to
an event becomes part of that event's history." Following that logic, to be a complete history, any retelling of the Apollo Program must also include that it was a hoax because a few profit +/- fame seeking, undereducated individuals decided one day that they knew better. The problem I have with Estabrook's "Gus", which he openly admits to on collectSPACE, is that he isn't trying to document established opposing studies, but rather introduce a debate where it didn't exist before, without any substantiated (peer-reviewed) evidence to justify doing so. Its a shame really, because a well produced, historically honest documentary that celebrated Gus Grissom's life would be very welcome. Too many people confuse the fictional "Right Stuff" with the real man. Unfortunately, it appears the film "Gus" will only serve to further separate the hero from the legacy he richly deserves. -- Robert Pearlman, Editor collectSPACE - The Source for Space History & Artifacts http://www.collectspace.com/ |
