• Challenger #STS51L launch explosion: Jan 28, 1986 (40 years, 7 dead)
• Columbia #STS107 re-entry breakup: Feb 1, 2003 (23 years, 7 dead)

@nonlinear @sarahjeong.bsky.social
Yes, SpaceX will eventually have a lives-lost incident, and it will be ugly. How the market / investors take it I have no prediction for.
But NASA has had several of those types of accidents over the years, so the waterfall / perfection model isn't immune to them, either. The two shuttle losses were due to bureaucracy that defeated NASA's safety culture, and the Apollo 1 debacle showed that their vaunted safety and technical reviews actually could miss something very important - several things simultaneously, in fact.
I think it's unfair to compare SpaceX's current test-to-failure of Super Heavy and Starship to human-rated missions from anyone. They did the same test-to-failure rapid development with Falcon 9 and Cargo Dragon, leading to Crew Dragon, and they haven't had a life-lost incident yet. They're not deliberately testing-to-failure with humans on board.

🕯️ Les astronautes d' #Apollo1 (de bas en haut) Virgil I. Grissom, Edward H. White II et Roger B. Chaffee posent sur les marches menant au simulateur de mission Apollo au centre spatial Kennedy le 19 janvier 1967.
Le 27 janvier, ils meurent lors d'une répétition générale.https://reves-d-espace.com/apollo-1-le-27-janvier-1967-un-drame-historique/

To save on labor costs, North American had used machines to bundle the miles of #wires that snaked through the #Apollo spacecraft, the arrangement of which seemed arbitrary to Young. Some wires even appeared frayed. As he surveyed the capsule that Grissom, White, and Chaffee were to fly in, Young saw a seemingly endless amount of short circuits ⚡ https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/the-hell-of-apollo-1-pure-oxygen-a-single-spark-and-death-in-17-seconds/

57 years ago: Jan 27, 1967: #Apollo1 pad fire, 3 dead. Article by @AstronomyMag from November covers the history. Lessons learned turned out to become factors in the later successful #Apollo #Moon landings. https://www.astronomy.com/space-exploration/apollo-1-tragedy-the-fatal-fire-and-its-aftermath/ #NASA #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

On this day in 1967 "tragedy struck on the launch pad at Cape Kennedy during a preflight test for Apollo 204 (AS-204). The mission was to be the first crewed flight of Apollo, and was scheduled to launch Feb. 21, 1967. Astronauts Virgil Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee lost their lives when a fire swept through the command module."

This is Launch Complex 34 at Cape #Canaveral Air Force Station.
During a test of the #Apollo command and service modules and a Saturn I rocket in preparation for the Apollo 1 mission, a small spark from an unknown origin, combined with pure oxygen environment, allowed a fire to break out and essentially used all the oxygen in the combustion reaction, killing mission commander Gus Grissom, senior pilot Ed White, and pilot Roger Chaffee nearly instantly.
LC-34 was abandoned-in-place after the last Saturn launch was decommissioned.
It remains as a #memorial.Get a print or other merchandise at https://heronfox.pixels.com/featured/lc-34-launch-table-heron-and-fox.html

Outside Moffitt Library on the UC Berkeley campus are several display cases with reprinted newspaper front pages from around the world.
On Fridays, one case is dedicated to a historical event that took place that week. This was yesterday’s, the LA Times front page from January 28, 1967. #apollo1 -
Here is a CBS News special report on the #Apollo1 tragedy 56 years ago #OTD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSWUnWOMdTk - it had aired on the same evening and came with a lot of background information, not on the cause of the accident, of course, but on the #Apollo program in general.

We remember and will never forget their sacrifice.
Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee

On today's #Apollo11 anniversary, it’s important to remember the people and missions that paved the way - the successes and the setbacks. From unsuccessful robotic missions to the devastating #Apollo1 fire, #NASARemembers & honors the contributions and sacrifices along the way.
