That's what Gus Grissom said.
- justrealist 3y agoLot of people probably won't get the subtext on this one. (although he was recently-probably-exonerated in that case).
- jonathankoren 3y agoI think it’s more the Apollo 1 door opening to the inside and secured by nonexplosive bolts, rather than the spuriously blown door on Liberty Bell 7. FWIW, while NASA may had thrown him under the bus, his comrades in the astronaut corps believed him. Wally Schirra on Sigma 7, refused to blow the door until the capsule was on the Kearsarge. When he climbed out, he showed the bruise on his hand — the same bruise every one got when they pushed the escape button. The same bruise Grissom did not have. https://www.npr.org/2021/07/22/1019254674/gus-grissom-liberty-bell-mercury-the-right-stuff https://www.npr.org/2021/07/22/1019254674/gus-grissom-libert...
