The Explorers Club
No. XXXV - Project Apollo, Part I: Gus Grissom, Ed White, Roger Chaffee, and the tragedy of Apollo 1; Apollo 7 and Wally Schirra's feeling grumpy; Apollo 8 and the Christmas Eve broadcast: and Apollo 9 and the flight of the Spider.








Project Apollo was a showcase of Mankind's best: bravery, ambition, intelligence, skill, and the harnessing of these qualities in common cause. There will never be episodes of "The Explorers Club" closer to my heart than this and those to follow in the coming weeks. I ask you to do me the honor of immersing yourself in the history of the Apollo program. I thank you.
