"If we die, we want people to accept it. We're in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life." --Virgil "Gus" Ivan Grissom, Lieutenant Colonel, USAF
Gus, the second American in space, died in the Apollo I capsule fire on January 27th, 1967, along with Ed White and Roger Chaffee.
(That is all. This terribly sick denizen is going back to bed, but I wanted to share that quote with all of you.)
