A relic from America's first space tragedy is finally going on display this week, 50 years after a fire on the launch pad killed three astronauts at the start of the Apollo moon program.
But it also highlights all the other astronauts who, having mourned their friends and colleagues, had the balls to say 'yes, strap me in!'.
Well said indeed. I just saw this photo today. It's a small plaque and sculpture that was left on the Moon by the astronauts of Apollo 15 to commemorate the astronauts and cosmonauts who died.
That story still gives me shivers.
What a horrid, horrid way to go.
