HomeDramaFrom The Earth to The MoonSeason 1Episode 2

The date is January 27, 1967. In preparation for the flight of Apollo 1, astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee undergo a routine 'plug-out' test in their space capsule. But their routine test turns to disaster when a small electrical fire explodes into a raging inferno, taking the lives of three men before their ship can even lift off the ground. A nation mourns, but a watchful Senate Committee - anxious over the extreme haste and massive expenditure involved in fulfilling the late President Kennedy's dream - may pull their own plug from the entire Apollo project.

From The Earth to The Moon is a Drama programme.
