Lyrics for Apollo 1
Verse 1:
First there was Mercury and Gemini
Then NASA moved on to Apollo to start it all up
We were on our way to the moon

Chorus:
Gus Grisson, crew Commander
Ed White, Flight commander
Roger Chaffee, Pilot

Verse 2:
January 27, 1967 Disaster struck

Verse 3:
Because of this disaster
Many improvements were made
Pure oxygen
Flammable materials
A hatch that opened inward

Unused Lyrics:
Originally called Apollo Saturn-204
Oxygen was replaced with nitrogen-oxygen mix
Flammable items removed
Door that can be opened in mere seconds

unquestionably serious dereliction

NASA’s Day of Remembrance
Honors Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia disasters
"plugs-out" countdown demonstration test
