From the Wikipedia:
I really don't have to comment further, other than the feeling of utter desolation when I heard of the Apollo one accident. I could add some platitude, but I honestly feel that even at my best they would sound contrived. So I will leave it to the reader to take a moment to ponder the triumph and loss of a true American Hero.
- On June 3, 1965 Edward Higgins White, II (November 14, 1930 – January 27, 1967) a NASA astronaut became the first American to "walk" in space.
- White died along with his fellow astronauts Virgil "Gus" Grissom and Roger B. Chaffee during pre-launch testing for the first manned Apollo mission at Cape Canaveral.
