#lc34 — Public Fediverse posts

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.
