APOLLO 1 is the personal story of three exceptional astronauts who were part of America’s great quest to reach the Moon. Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee were the first crew selected to fly an Apollo Mission, buoyed by NASA’s earlier success with Gemini in 1965-66, but their prototype Saturn 1B spacecraft was riddled with design and manufacturing issues, and a disaster was waiting to happen. The events that followed shook the US space program to the core, and left a lasting impact on their families - and on all space flights since. With exceptional access granted to the production team, along with previously unseen personal archive, APOLLO 1 is a story of jeopardy, tragedy and recovery, as told by those who were closely involved.
