The Apollo 204 had a fire accident. What warnings did this accident leave to public and NASA. Did NASA really put astronauts' safety as the first aid? Why these three astronauts died in this accident.
Apollo-204 is also called Apollo-1, which was a routine test to prepare for landing men on the moon, but it failed on January 27, 1967 at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration( NASA ) base in Cape Canaveral, Florida. It caught on fire and caused the deaths of three astronauts (Virgil "Gus" Grissom, who is the commander;Edward White, who is the command Pilot; Roger Chaffee, who is also the Pilot) in only 18 seconds because of technical failures and human failures.

The interesting I found that there were more information about Apollo 13,17 accident, but several information about Apollo 1. But because of Apollo 1, aCondensation of water in Apollo 13 while the command module turned off the power did not cause short circuit when start to re-enter the atmosphere
