White II and Roger B. Chaffee—was killed when a fire erupted in their capsule during testing. Apollo 1 was originally designated AS-204 but following the fire, the astronauts’ widows requested that the mission be remembered as Apollo 1 and following missions would be numbered subsequent to the flight that never made it into space. <br/><br/><em>Image credit: NASA </em></p>http://elmaxx.com/post/16521335083http://elmaxx.com/post/16521335083Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:41:14 -0600NASAApolloMoon RaceScience<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls9t62WaMi1qe6lp9o1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://elmaxx.com/post/16085620855http://elmaxx.com/post/16085620855Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:01:38 -0600<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxskugZX0Q1rn941zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>“<span class="quote">I love sleep.
