My special guest is L.A. Marzulli who's here to discuss what he thinks the alien phenomena really is and why everyone should be worried.     This book exposes the UFO phenomena, alien abductions, cattle mutilations, alien implants, and direct contact. It postulates that these are interdimensional beings not entities from another planet. It further exposes what may be the coming great deception as prophesied in the Bible.   Some sightings involving astronauts or NASA include: During the Gemini 4 mission, pilot Jim McDivitt spotted an object that he described as a "white cylindrical shape with a white pole sticking out of one corner of it." He took two pictures of it. His partner, Ed White, was asleep at the time.[5] McDivitt maintains that it was some unknown but man-made piece of debris, while James Oberg argues that it was most likely the Titan II second stage of the craft.[6] In a transcript of Gemini 7 mission, the astronauts mention a "bogey" which ufologists have claimed was a reference to a UFO.[7] Oberg, based on his trajectory analysis of the mission, describes the astronauts' comments about a "bogey" as referring to booster-associated debris, and not a reference to some sort of UFO.[8] The astronaut who made the comments, Frank Borman, later confirmed that what he saw was not a UFO, and that when he offered to go on the television show Unsolved Mysteries to clarify, the producers told him, "Well, I'm not sure we want you on the program."[7] Within the UFO community, stories have spread that Neil Armstrong was reported to have witnessed multiple UFOs during Apollo 11.[9] An explanation was that the sightings could have been attributed to jettisoned components. Additional stories were accredited to a hoax spread by science fiction writer Otto Binder.[1] Buzz Aldrin says his words were taken out of context from an interview in 2005 about the incident.[3] During a 2005 spacewalk outside the International Space Station, astronaut Leroy Chiao reported seeing lights in a formation he described as "in a line" and "almost like an upside-down check mark".[4] The incident was promoted as a possible UFO sighting in the television series Are We Alone?.[4]Chiao later identified the lights as being from fishing boats "hundreds of miles below".[4] In August 2013, according to NASA TV, astronaut Christopher Cassidy saw a UFO float past the International Space Station near its Progress 52 cargo ship.[10] It was soon identified by Russian flight controllers as an antenna cover from the Zvezda service module.[10] On August 19, 2020, Cosmonaut Ivan Vagner posted a video on Twitter featuring UFOs on a time lapse he recorded of the Aurora Australis. Vagner dubbed the objects "space guests" with Roscosmos quote tweeting Vagner to say “An interesting and at the same time mysterious video made by the cosmonaut of Roscosmos Ivan Wagner from the International Space Station.”Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio

Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air. This time, we discuss exit watches after receiving a great topic request from one of our favorite listeners. It's a familiar theme we may have touched upon before. Let's see if our collective tastes have changed. For our listeners, watch content starts after eight minutes.Exit watches are a touchy subject. Some folks believe in the ultimate watch and the end of collecting. Admittedly, neither of us can picture an end to the hunt. Still, we will play along and discuss the watches that could send us out in style. A big thanks to Richard for the topic suggestion!HandgelenkskontrolleWe're short on banter this week as Balazs is sweating it out in Hungary and nearly 40 degrees Celsius. Mike is shivering in England where 20 degrees and the sun would be a nice start to the summer. Before, discussing our exit watches, we divert our attention to the Handgelenkskontrolle. Balazs is wearing his mighty 38mm Gallet Multichron 12 with an EP40 movement. Mike is debuting a relatively new acquisition, a Longines 9ct gold dress watch with a lovely engraving on the case back. The '60s time-only piece uses the 19.4 caliber and is in barely-worn condition.Exit watchesExit watches supposedly represent the pinnacle of collecting. It also means there's nothing left to purchase after acquiring one of these pieces. We can't fathom such a scenario, but we've pulled together the watches that fit the description. Each of us has listed three and as you'll see, there's no theme. One brand, however, does make each of our lists. We discuss the following watches:Patek Philippe 3970, a perpetual calendar chronographPatek Philippe 1463, the Borgel case waterproof chronographAngelus Chrono-Datoluxe, a vintage chronograph with a day-date and moonphase complicationGrand Seiko VFA 6185-8000/8010, a rare palladium silver watch with amazing accuracyOmega Speedmaster 105.003, the "Ed White" and the last vintage straight-lug SpeedyRolex Submariner 5513 gilt dial, a '60s beauty with an old-world dial and classic case designWe hope you enjoyed our picks and we're excited to hear about your exit watches in the comments section below! Thank you for listening and thanks to Richard for the show suggestion! If you have any ideas for future topics, please let us know.

Tonight, my special guest is author Ryan Walters who's here to discuss his book Apollo 1: The Tragedy That Put Us On The Moon.  On January 27, 1967, astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee climbed into a new spacecraft perched atop a large Saturn rocket at Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a routine dress rehearsal of their upcoming launch into orbit, then less than a month away. All three astronauts were experienced pilots and had dreams of one day walking on the moon. But little did they know, nor did anyone else, that once they entered the spacecraft that cold winter day they would never leave it alive. The Apollo program would be perilously close to failure before it ever got off the ground.   But rather than dooming the space program, this tragedy caused the spacecraft to be completely overhauled, creating a stellar flying machine to achieve the program’s primary goal: putting man on the moon.   Apollo 1 is a candid portrayal of the astronauts, the disaster that killed them, and its aftermath. In it, readers will learn:  How the Apollo 1 spacecraft was doomed from the start, with miles of uninsulated wiring and tons of flammable materials in a pure oxygen atmosphere, along with a hatch that wouldn’t open How, due to political pressure, the government contract to build the Apollo 1 craft went to a bidder with an inferior plan How public opinion polls were beginning to turn against the space program before the tragedy and got much worse after    Apollo 1 is about America fulfilling its destiny of man setting foot on the moon. It’s also about the three American heroes who lost their lives in the tragedy, but whose lives were not lost in vain.    Show Us Some Love!

In 1965, during the Gemini 4 mission, astronaut Ed White became the first American to spacewalk. While it was a historic moment, it was also nerve-wracking as it was a brand-new and untested endeavor. In 2013, Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano faced a terrifying situation as his helmet started filling with water during a spacewalk, prompting an immediate return to the ISS. The 1984 spacewalk by Bruce McCandless, using the Manned Maneuvering Unit, showcased breathtaking views but also highlighted the isolation and potential dangers of untethered spacewalks. #brightside Credit: NASA Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Over the past half century, the semiconductor technology landscape has been evolving rapidly, underpinning the digital transformations we witness across the various spheres of life today. Sometimes referred to as integrated circuits or microchips, semiconductors are the backbone of modern electronics. In devices of every type, from simple gadgets to complex systems like computers, cars and household appliances, semiconductors have led to them being smaller or faster or more reliable. More inconspicuously, semiconductors are now enabling innovations in healthcare to flourish.    One company, imec, stands as a vanguard in this area. Their work promises to enable smart health concepts such as precision medicine and genomics to be brought within everyone's reach, resulting in personalized treatments with better outcomes and lower costs. Joining the latest episode of the “Ideas to Innovation Season 3” podcast from Clarivate is Peter Peumans, Chief Technology Officer - Healthcare Technologies and Senior Fellow at Belgium-based imec.  He and Ed White of Clarivate discuss how innovations in semiconductors led imec to be named one of 36 companies in this year's Innovators to Watch report from Clarivate. The report – guided by Ed in his role as vice president and principal analyst for IP and Innovation Research at Clarivate –identifies organizations that demonstrate both exceptional potential and above-the-bar innovation excellence. 

Russell "Rusty" Schweikart grew up with a great interest in aviation and watching the planes fly around Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey. So it was no surprise when he joined the U.S. Air Force and was trained as a fighter pilot. He later joined the Massachusetts Air National Guard. But in 1963, he was selected as a NASA astronaut and was soon on track to be part of the Apollo program to fulfill President John F. Kennedy's vision of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles, Capt. Schweikart takes us through his days in the Air Force and Air National Guard. He also details the moment in a cafeteria that he decided to pursue becoming an astronaut and the training he went through to prepare for space. Schweikart also walks us through the dark days following the deadly Apollo 1 fire that killed Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee in 1967 and the changes that were made as a result.Finally, Schweikart takes us step by step through his Apollo 9 mission, the testing of the lunar module and Apollo space suits, and the mesmerizing moments of looking back towards Earth during the first-ever Apollo spacewalk.

The Vikings Daily Opener provides in-depth coverage of the Minnesota Vikings leading up to their week 1 season opener. One of the featured articles in this edition is Tyler Forness' ranking of Kirk Cousins as the 11th starting quarterback in Tier 3. This ranking has caught the attention of many fans and analysts alike, as Cousins has been a topic of controversy and debate in recent years. While not in the elite tier, Forness believes that Cousins is underrated and can help the team win games. CBS Sports also ranks Cousins in Tier 4, but notes that he is still a valuable asset to the team. These rankings provide interesting perspectives on where Cousins stands among the league's starting quarterbacks, but ultimately, the success of the Vikings will depend on the performance of the entire team. Judd Zulgad's mailbag is another featured article in the Vikings Daily Opener. He provides insightful analysis of the team's upcoming training camp and position battles to watch. Zulgad notes that there are some interesting position battles to watch during training camp, including the cornerback position and the running back position. He also provides some insight into Lewis Cine's place on the depth chart and discusses the lack of recent chatter about a contract extension for tight end T.J. Hockenson. Additionally, Zulgad takes a trip down memory lane and discusses how covering training camp has changed since the Vikings moved from Mankato to the TCO Performance Center. Other articles cover the Vikings' preseason games, including the fact that they will only have one nationally televised preseason game. Fans who are unable to catch the game live on TV can still watch all of the preseason games live on the NFL Network. There is also an article discussing the history of players who have worn the number 62 for the Vikings. This number has been worn by some of the greatest offensive linemen in the team's history, including Ed White and Jeff Christy. Finally, there is an article discussing Justin Jefferson's potential to make history in 2023. If he can put up at least 1,500 yards this season, he will be the first player in NFL history to reach that mark in three consecutive years. Jefferson has already set many records in his first three seasons, and his continued success will be key to the Vikings' success in the upcoming season. Overall, these articles provide insightful perspectives on the Vikings' upcoming season and the players who will be key to their success. Fans of the Vikings will find plenty to discuss and debate in this edition of the Vikings Daily Opener. What do we say? SKOL VIKINGS! Hosted by Dave Stefano @Luft_Krigare. Join the conversation!

Vietnam has banned the new Barbie movie because the American movie is said to feature a scene with a South China Sea map showing the nine-dash line. This is used on Chinese maps to illustrating its claims to parts of the South China Sea. After years of testing and negotiations Japan has finally won international approval to release treated nuclear waste into the Pacific Ocean. And Beijing has a new foreign relations law designed to strengthen Xi Jinping's hand in responding to western technology and trade sanctions.

As the death toll from a three train collision in Odisha, India, Ed talks to Kathryn about the reprisals and political fallout from the tragedy. Also, reports this week have suggested that the head of the CIA made a secret visit to China in May in an urgent bid to get relations between the two superpowers back onto a more stable footing. And in South Korea Seoul residents were told to evacuate the city in a false alarm after a failed North Korea satellite launch. Ed White is a correspondent with the Financial Times.

Asia correspondent Ed White talks to Kathryn about a comedian in Beijing has found himself in serious hot water after joking about the Chinese military, and Joe Biden signaling a 'thaw' in relations between the US and China 

Uncertainty continues for about 1 million Rohingya refugees who have been stuck in Bangladesh for nearly six years despite the latest attempts to return them to Myanmar. Thailand goes to the polls but there are questions over whether the election can result in the first peaceful transition of power in the volatile south-east Asian nation in a decade. Pakistan appears to be on a knife-edge again after the arrest of popular opposition leader and former cricket star Imran Kahn has sparked a series of violent clashes this week. And ties between the west and China are deteriorating again with Beijing embroiled in a new tit-for-tat diplomatic dispute with Canada, a standoff over Russia sanctions with Europe and signs that even high level meetings between US and Chinese officials are being derailed. Ed White is a correspondent with the Financial Times.

Ed talks to Kathryn about US court documents detailing a brazen scheme for getting cigarettes into North Korea worth hundreds of millions of dollars. There have been mixed signals given to western companies in China after a series of crackdowns on foreign businesses in recent weeks. And mixed messaging also from China on the international stage with Beijing backtracking remarks over the legitimacy of former Soviet states and Xi Jinping finally taking a call with the Ukrainian president.

Ed White is a correspondent with the Financial Times. He talks to Susie about the latest news around Asia; a growing debt crisis in Pakistan, a deadly military airstrike on a village in Myanmar, Japan under fire for its climate response ahead of a G7 meeting, rising tensions between Taiwan and China, and criticism at European leaders for meeting Xi Jinping in China.

In India fears are rising that democracy is on the ropes amid the legal challenges and political downfall of longtime opposition leader Rahul Ghandi. Kim Jong Un finally appears to be moving toward a slow reopening of North Korea after more than three years of strict Covid controls, a move that could pave the way for a gradual international reengagement on nuclear talks. Xi Jinping's government is launching something a charm offensive, rolling out the red carpet to global business leaders and this week staging the return of Jack Ma to the mainland. But does this mean Xi's ruthless crackdowns on the Chinese business elite are really over?

How confident are you setting up a project and delivering it on time every time?

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein and I am your host for this show. Completing our personal projects is something we all frequently find difficult. This is largely because there's usually nobody holding us accountable and we don'r have access to the same resources our companies will have. However, it does not have to be difficult if we follow a simple formula.  I've spent many years studying how NASA went from a seemingly impossible challenge to successfully landing Neil Armstrong on the Moon in 1969.  When that project was first floated by President Kennedy in May 1961, NASA lacked the knowledge of whether humans could survive in space, they were struggling to get a rocket off the ground, and the nobody had left the confines of Earth's orbit. Yet, eight years later, Neil Armstrong spoke those infamous words: “That's one small step for man. One giant leap for mankind”. Now it's true that NASA did not have to worry about resources, Congress gave them the money to make this happen. But it was not all about the money. Sure, that helped, but the technology still needed to be invented, scientists had to work out how to get a spaceship out of Earths orbit and into the Moon's orbit and they needed to know if humans could survive in space and if so, how.  I've always been a believer in finding the success stories and then breaking them down to their component parts to understand how the success happened. It's why I know there is no such things as an overnight success, there's much more to completing a project than being in the right place at the right time.  And with the Moon landings, everything is there to show you the roadmap towards completing a project—or a goal for that matter—all we need to do is break it down. And that is what we will do in this episode. So, let me now hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Jonathan. Jonathan asks, Hi Carl, one thing I really struggle with is working on my personal projects. I have some home improvement projects that I've had on my list for years and I just never seem to get around to doing them. Do you have any tips on getting these projects done?  Hi Jonathan, thank you for your question. Firstly I must start by saying this is something very common and you shouldn't beat yourself up over this, Jonathan. The good news this is an opportunity to develop skills.  Now, let's begin with what I talked about a moment ago with the clarifying sentence. I used to talk about this as the clarifying statement, but somehow the word “statement” invited people to write line after line of words defining what the project was. No. That's not what you are trying to achieve here. What you are looking for is a simple sentence that gives clarity on what you want to accomplish with the project.  Going back to the John F Kennedy sentence setting the parameters of the Moon landing project when he stood before Congress and announced that the US; "should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth."  Twenty-six words that set NASA on a course that captivated the world. Those words were clear, contained a deadline and left no-one in doubt about what was to be achieved. Now, Kennedy was no scientist. He was a student of government and international affairs. Certainly nothing that gave him a deep knowledge of the science and engineering feats required to land and walk on the moon.  But that didn't matter, Kennedy was the leader, not the implementer. There was a reservoir of talented, motivated scientists and engineers ready to take up the “challenge” and turn Kennedy's project outcome into a reality.  Now, depending on the size of the project you are attempting to do, Jonathan, you may need to reach out for the skills you do not process. For instance, one of your home improvement projects could be to build a conservatory onto the side of your house. Now, unless you are a builder, you are not going to have the know-how or skills to build the conservatory—you are going to need to hire outside help. A builder and an electrician are likely to be your first requirements.  Plus, you may need to hire an architect to draw up the plans for you.  So, this means you will need to “secure the funding” for the project. Now, Kennedy assigned this part of the project to his Vice President, Lyndon Johnson, who pushed Congress for the necessary funding.  Now, if I were to undertake building an extension to the side of our house, I would need to “Secure” the funding somehow. That could come from my savings or I may need to talk to the bank for a loan. Either way, because I would need to hire experts to do the work, I would need funds, so before anything started on the project I would need to get some estimates on how much the project would likely cost.  One area where I find people waste time with project planning is to sit down and plan out the whole project step by step. In my experience, I find there's always time to plan the next steps, but planning can and often does become the source of procrastination. There's too many unknowns and if you really want to get the project off the ground take the first logical step.  To write a book, start writing the first draft. Don't worry about publishers, writing applications, chapter headings or book cover designs. Until you have a first draft you are not going to have anything to work with anyway.  Similarly with your home improvement projects, you will need a budget, so get the quotes and estimates together. That will give you the right information to proceed to the next step.  With the Moon landings, NASA broke the project down into three parts. There was Mercury, where they wanted to learn what was required in order to get humans into space. Then came Gemini, where they learned all about rendezvousing with other spacecraft and doing space walks, and finally Apollo, which was the part of the project that took humans to the Moon.  Each part of the lunar landing project had its own set of objectives. Whatever project you are working on, will be the same. The first part could be to secure the funding. The second part may involve hiring the right people to do the work, and finally the construction part. Each part will have its own outcome, but ultimately, the overall project sentence will guide you.  For example, if you want to have the conservatory built by the summer, and you have three months until the summer begins, each part of your project will need to be broken down to meet that deadline. If, when you get the estimates, you are told the builders will require eight weeks to complete the work, then that leaves you with four weeks for the other parts of the project.  When we moved to the East Coast of Korea, my wife and I first sat down to decide how we were would do it. Our initial plan was to spend three months living in a guest house in the area we wanted to move to. These three months confirmed we definitely wanted to proceed with the project and we extended our stay in the guest house until the end of the year.  During that time, we began looking at properties and working on our budget. We decided on our new home in October and as it was still being built, we were given a moving in date on the 20th December. That gave us almost three months to put into action the second phase of our project—which was the interior design and furniture. And then the final part of the project was to move in.  Looking back at my original notes for that project, very little went according to that initial plan. But one thing did not change. The deadline (by the end of the year) and the move itself. The initial action was to move to the area we wanted to live in for three months and we did that within two weeks of making the decision to proceed. After that plans changed, but the outcome did not.  There's always going to be delays, issues to resolve and changing plans. That's to be expected. However, if you have been clear with your project sentence, and you stick to your overall deadline for the project, you will push yourself to get things moving.  And problems and issues will always arise. That's part of life. With the moon landing project, tragedy struck on the 27th January 1967 when during a test on the new Apollo programme (the third phase) a fire broke out in the astronauts cockpit instantly killing the three astronauts. Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffy were killed in the tragic accident and all manned flights were stopped, just three years before the project deadline while a full investigation took place.  NASA, continued developing the programme, as information from the tragedy came through, changes were implemented and by the time the final investigation report came through, almost all its recommendations had been implemented.  Hopefully, nothing as tragic will happen with your projects, but problems and issues will inevitably arise. While you are dealing with those issues, what could you be doing to make sure they the issue does not delay you from your final deadline?  For instance, there could be a materials shortage and there may be a two week delay to receiving some of the materials needed to build your conservatory. What could you do so that when the material is available and delivered you minimise any further delays?  And finally, you need a competitor or villain. For NASA and the United States, the villain and competitor was the Soviet Union. When NASA began the project to land on the Moon, The Soviet Union had already been the first to put a man in space and had launched the first satellite, Sputnik. NASA was still struggling to get a rocket to lift off without exploding.  The introduction of a villain or competitor brings energy to the project. Now, of course, with our personal projects it's unlikely you will have a competitor. However, the reality is you do. The competitor is you.  The reason most of us fail with our personal projects is because of us. We are our own worst enemies. If you want to go deeper, it's comfort that stops you from completing your projects. We naturally don't like change and we always default to our comfort zone. But if you really want to complete these personal projects, whether they are home improvements or buying a new house, you will have to get uncomfortable.  The way I deal with this is, it to turn whatever comfort I am defaulting to into the enemy. At its simplest level that comfort could be the sofa. I never let the sofa beat me. No matter how inviting and seductive the sofa tries to be, I will still go out for a run when it's raining. The sofa will never beat me. That's my mindset. And it's an easy mindset to develop. First identify the comfort, then look at it and tell it that it will never beat you. You will always win. If you find yourself procrastinating, externalise it by writing Procrastination in big words on a piece of paper and stare at it as if it was your worst enemy and tell it it will never ever beat you.  Steve Jobs invoked this strategy. First it was Microsoft and IBM, then it was Intel. With Steve, there was always an enemy to galvanise his employees. Today, Tim Cook does it with Samsung and Android.  Interestingly, because there was a clear competitor and enemy for NASA in the 1960s, their staff were highly motivated and focused on winning. They were making history and that was enough for them to succeed. NASA never needed table football tables (Fuzzball), nap pods, massage rooms or any of the other crazy benefits for their employees. Having a clear outcome, a strategy and a defined enemy was all that was needed to keep their employees focused, happy and engaged.  So there you go, Jonathan. I hope that has helped. I strongly recommend the documentary film Unsung Heroes, The Story Of Mission Control and Tom Hanks film Apollo 13. Both of these films will inspire you and give you everything you need to finally complete all those projects that you are stalling on. Thank you for your question and thank you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

SKIP TO 00:29:31 TO GET TO THIS WEEK'S STORY Welcome to Episode 137 of Let's Get Haunted! On July 20, 1969, the United States Apollo 11 Mission made history when two of its astronauts - Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin - became the first humans to ever set foot on the moon. Though Apollo 11 is perhaps the most well-known of the Apollo Program's missions, it never would've been possible without its predecessors. Astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee were the three brave astronauts assigned to the first of these historic spaceflights: Apollo 1. A critical moment along the Space Race timeline, Apollo 1 represented the first phase of NASA's project to put men on the moon before the Soviets. When all 3 of these astronauts shockingly perished in a fire during a mock launch exercise, rumors and conspiracy theories began to swirl. Were their brutal deaths an accident? Or were Grissom, White, and Chaffee murdered? When a whistleblower mysteriously ended up dead after testifying in front of Congress, suspicions only deepened. Join us as we explore the winding unsolved mystery known as the Apollo 1 Conspiracy!

Tonight, my special guest is author Ryan Walters who's here to discuss his book Apollo 1: The Tragedy That Put Us On The Moon. On January 27, 1967, astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee climbed into a new spacecraft perched atop a large Saturn rocket at Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a routine dress rehearsal of their upcoming launch into orbit, then less than a month away. All three astronauts were experienced pilots and had dreams of one day walking on the moon. But little did they know, nor did anyone else, that once they entered the spacecraft that cold winter day they would never leave it alive. The Apollo program would be perilously close to failure before it ever got off the ground. But rather than dooming the space program, this tragedy caused the spacecraft to be completely overhauled, creating a stellar flying machine to achieve the program's primary goal: putting man on the moon. Apollo 1 is a candid portrayal of the astronauts, the disaster that killed them, and its aftermath. In it, readers will learn: How the Apollo 1 spacecraft was doomed from the start, with miles of uninsulated wiring and tons of flammable materials in a pure oxygen atmosphere, along with a hatch that wouldn't open How, due to political pressure, the government contract to build the Apollo 1 craft went to a bidder with an inferior plan How public opinion polls were beginning to turn against the space program before the tragedy and got much worse after Apollo 1 is about America fulfilling its destiny of man setting foot on the moon. It's also about the three American heroes who lost their lives in the tragedy, but whose lives were not lost in vain. Wanna get creeped out?
