    • Trivia
      While the Challenger crew were the first to die during a mission, they were not the first NASA crew to be killed. The three-man crew of Apollo 204 (aka, Apollo 1), Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee, Ed White, were killed in a fire in their capsule during a launch practice run on the launch pad on Jan. 27, 1967. Challenger: The Final Flight makes no mention of this earlier fatality.
