Ep 101 Re-release Apollo 1

We’re releasing episodes from our mini failure library while we’re on production hiatus. This week’s Mini Failure is about Apollo 1. What was meant to be a non-hazardous test for the first crewed mission to the Moon, turned out to be a devastating event for NASA and space travel in general. Like all the engineering failures we’ve covered on this show, and as tragic as it was, there is a lot to learn from not only how the fire started, but how it spread and how the rescue was mishandled.
