- Summary:
- Apollo 1: This is Cape Canaveral or as it was known in 1967, Cape Kennedy. It was renamed in 1963 as a tribute to the assassinated president, but reverted to its original name ten years later. And this is the burnt out shell of the Apollo 1 spacecraft. Also known as the Apollo/Saturn 204, it went up in flames on the 27th of January 1967 during a training exercise at launch pad 34. The AS 204 had a crew of three astronauts, all of whom died in the accident.
