On January 27, 1967, astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee died in a flash fire inside their Apollo 1 command module during a, "plugs-out" ground test at Cape Kennedy.

Today we honor Grand Rapids native, Roger B. Chaffee, who was killed in the Apollo 1 fire along with Gus Grissom and Ed White 50 years ago on this day.
