Any tragedies that led up to getting to the moon
There were a few tragedies, which was super sad because nobody ever knows that they're going to die right there on the spot. Gus Grissom, Edward H. White II, and Roger Chaffee died of a fire that broke out in the capsule. The cause was of a spark wire that was under Grissom's seat and the pressure of the oxygen went BOOM!! and then that was it no more Apollo 1. Some of the astronauts that were chosen couldn't go to space because of health issues but they did help out a lot. -
