The Apollo 1 Disaster (Encore)

In the early 1960s, the United States was always a step behind the Soviet Union in the space race.  By the mid-1960s, the Americans had caught up.

All of that came crashing to a halt on January 27, 1967, when three astronauts died in what was a seemingly routine training exercise.  Learn more about the Apollo 1 Disaster, how it happened, and how it influenced the future of the Apollo program on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
