Ed White

But before anyone could reach the moon, the Apollo program suffered a terrible setback.

On January 27, 1967, astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Shafi were inside their spacecraft during a test on the launch pad.

A fire broke out in the cabin, and the astronauts could not get out.

All three of the astronauts died.

Um, you know, a little later, I'm not sure how much later exactly, but Ed White became the first American to do a space walk.

[tape rewinding] [triumphant music] The heavenly twins return to Earth in triumph.

Copters from the carrier Wasp pick up Major James McDivitt and Major Edward White after they splash down in the Atlantic 98 historic hours from their blast-off at Cape Kennedy.

In four days, they completed 62 orbits and traveled almost a million and three-quarter miles, two and a half round trips to the moon.

Major White's walk, of course, had the world agog.

America's first three Apollo astronauts were trapped and killed by a flash fire that swept their moon ship early tonight during a launch pad test at Cape Kennedy in Florida.

Virgil Gus Grissom, 40 years old, one of the original Mercury astronauts, the first American astronaut to go twice into space.

Edward White, 36 years old, the first American to walk in space.

A cry of pain was heard shortly after, before transmission cut out.

Ed White was seen on the television monitors trying to open the hatch.

It is believed that the fire was due to a spark somewhere in the capsule's some 50 kilometres of wiring.

With pure oxygen in the cabin, it quickly raged out of control.

Oakleaf beat Fleming Island 47-15.

Raines beat Ed White 21-12.

That was expected.

Beachside at Tekoi Creek was postponed until yesterday, so I'll look up that score in a second.

Roger Chaffee passed away with Gus Grissom and someone white.

Ed White? Ed White.

Someone

white.

And some white guy.

They passed away in the Apollo 1 mission, I think.

Oh, were these the guys that burned up? Ed White, yeah.

Oh, awful, awful, awful thing to have.

The great works by which not only literature, art, and science generally, but in religion itself, the human spirit has manifested its approaches to totality and a full harmonious perfection, and by which it stimulates and helps forward the world's general perfection come not from Nonconformists, but from men who either belong to establishments or have been trained in them.

A Nonconformist minister, the Reverend Edward White, who has lately written a temperate and well-reasoned pamphlet against church establishments, says that the unendowed and unestablished communities of England exert full as much moral and ennobling influence upon the conduct of statesmen as that church which is both established and endowed.

That depends upon what one means by moral and ennobling influence.

The believer in machinery may think that to get a government to abolish church rates or to legalize marriage with a deceased wife's sister is to exert a moral and ennobling influence upon government.

"Open the universities to everybody and let there be no establishment of religion at all." Open the universities by all means but as to the second point about establishment let us sift the proposal a little.

It does seem at first a little like that proposal of the fox who had lost his own tail to put all the other foxes in the same boat by a general cutting off of tails and we know that moralists have decided that the right course here was not to adopt this plausible suggestion and cut off tails all round but rather that the other foxes should keep their tails and that the fox without a tail should get one and so we might be inclined to urge that to cure the evil of the nonconformist provincialism the right way can hardly be to provincialize us all round.

However perhaps we shall not be provincialized for the Reverend Edward White says that probably when all good men alike are placed in a condition of religious equality and the whole complicated iniquity of government church patronage is swept away more of moral and ennobling influence than ever will be brought to bear upon the action of statesmen.

We already have an example of religious equality in our colonies.

Even the location on your phone, right?

Aaron's at the ED clinic again.

Better send him some more stuff.

I'll go into the Smith's by my house, and it's next to the EO's gym that I canceled, and it'll send me notifications.

They have just put an announcement on the fanagram here.

Pleased to have with us today guests of Commissioner Eckerd, Astronauts Lieutenant Colonel Ed White, Lieutenant Colonel Gus Grissom, Lieutenant Commander Roger Shake, Lieutenant Colonel White was the first man to walk in space, and then they said, a base on balls the hard way.

And I can see the mind of one Red Patterson working that one out.
