[simpits-tech] In Memoriam

[Akin, Keenan L]

Gus Grissom was from Mitchell, IN, not far from where I grew up.  I remember going to the Grissom memorial space museum there on a grade school field trip.  This was back in the early seventies when the Apollo program had given many of us the aerospace bug.  Too bad that most kids today look at the space program as just a routine thing and not the technical miracle that it is.

Roger B. Chaffee was from Grand Rapids, same as me, so he has a street named 
after him. I cross it on the way to work, and salute each time. He's part of 
the reason (ok, a BIG part of the reason) we have an Apollo boilerplate in 
the city as well. Too bad so few even know who Roger Chaffee even is...
