    Another vintage dress wearing space woman? I didn't think two of us existed. I have a photo of me in the Trashy Diva Sci-Fi rockets dress (which took me forever to hunt down) in front of the Saturn V at the US Space and Rocket Center after my first day of work at [redacted] as an engineer on the SLS rocket.

    Gus Grissom was so dissatisfied with the block 1 craft he hung a lemon on the simulator. He was an engineer so it must have been very frustrating for him.

    It took months before NASA would even call Apollo 1 "Apollo 1" it was just Apollo-Saturn 204. The wives and crews had to fight hard to get that.

    Wow. You filled a lot of holes in the Apollo history that you don’t normally here about. Very educational. So much info I’m gonna have to watch it a couple of times. Excellent video!

    Lord I hope NASA and/or SpaceX are using you as a consultant!

    Your videos have really evolved, and the entire production is world class.

    As a former technician with a NASA contractor that supplied spares in support of the lunar modules I very much appreciate your bringing the program back to life. My fondest memory is that the contract was "cost plus" meaning we worked until physically and mentally impossible to go on, "partied" ourselves to sleep (rarely at home) and then did it all over again. It was an amazing effort.

    Had grown up during this era. Graduated high school in 1963. Was somewhat familiar with the Apollo program, but your video explained many things of which I was not aware. Thanks!

    Thank you for a very informative video. I was 11 when the Apollo 1 spacecraft burned... for some reason even after all these years I can tear up when I think about the horror those three men must have suffered... I believe it was Walter Schirra that said we may have never landed on the moon on time if that fire hadn't happened... An amazing paradox... Anyway thank you again for a great video

    Your videos are amazing. They're always full of interesting little details I never knew about. I appreciate the all the work you must be putting in researching all this!

    YAY, Another awesome and informative video from everyone's favourite space nerd, the Amazing Amy.

    To me, Apollo was my childhood. To you, it must be granddad's dusty antiques.

    I've been a NASA/Apollo junkie for 40+ years, and I've heard most parts of this story here and there, but never all at once and with such detail.

    Uplifting video. Obvious how to cleave to the information and keep abreast of this interesting topic. Quite revealing.

    This is the most extensive video I have seen on Apollo 1, and great background details. Thank you.

    I haven't watched Vintage Space in a while, and I had forgotten how good the videos can be!

    Great episode! Looking forward one day to some explanation / episode for the fuel cells and how they made their power. Keep up the good work miss!
