Movie Reviews of Apollo 1
Movie Review: Apollo 1-Documentation of a sad event in our space program.
Summary: 3 Stars
Apollo 1-I found on viewing this Spacecraft Films product that it was a very thorough documentary, however, I couldn't enjoy it and was able to watch it just one time. There were reasons for Gus to be in a bad mood and difficult to work with leading up to the pad fire and it required the death of his crew to make the point to NASA.
I nevertheless keep this important box set to answer questions that come up from friends from time to time on the failed mission. I just don't see how anyone can watch this box set numerous times in its entirety. It is just too depressing.
I never understood the character of Gus portraid in the "Right Stuff" and believe the film did not give proper credit to this great American. Surely it must be understood that he would not have been selected for one of the first Mercury, Gemini and the very first manned Apollo mission if NASA had any doubts about Gus blowing the hatch at the wrong time during the second Mercury mission.
Gus Grissom was a no nonsense test pilot and engineer. He was once asked what the most difficult part of the space program was? His response was "probably this interview".
Gus was also quoted commenting on risk:"If we die, we want people to accept it. We are in a risky business and we hope that if anything happens to us it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life."
After the pad fire of Apollo 1, NASA fixed all the problems with the spacecraft and the design of the future Orion is being based on that of Apollo.
