Why didn't Apollo launch in 1967?
On January 27th 1967, the crew that were training for the first Apollo mission were killed in a flash fire in the capsule during a simulation. They may have launched in the following month if this had not occurred. There were many faults in the system, some of which the Commander of the mission, Gus Grissom, had complained of during his last hours. The investigation uncovered many more flaws, and it has been said that the US may not have gotten to the moon as soon as it did if the mass changes recommended in the report had not been implemented.
