APOLLO 7 — 2 museum-grade prints, engineered to a wall. Apollo 7 closed the gap between tragedy and triumph — twenty-one months after the Apollo 1 pad fire killed Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee, Schirra's crew proved the redesigned Block II spacecraft could sustain a crew for the duration a lunar mission would demand. The mission's live television broadcasts brought orbital flight into American living rooms with an intimacy Mercury and Gemini had only hinted at.
