Great addition to the Apollo archive - good angles on the Vehicle Assembly Building for scale - wow ! So it was filmed week beginning Mon 30th Jan 1967 - the [very] darkest time thus far for the American space endeavour - [Jan 27] to lose 3 in a ground test with a un-fuelled rocket was an abysmal event. So much soul searching & anguish followed - not least for Joe Shea , the brilliant engineer-manager who headed up the Apollo Spacecraft Program Office - it was too much for him and he moved to NASA Headquarters . Harrison "Stormy" Storms was the fall-guy for North American Aviation (NAA) - the builders of the spacecraft .
ITN's space coverage was superb back then and Peter Fairley was an excellent reporter,more of this type of thing please!
Wow this is incredible footage that I've never even seen before 😮 Well done for uploading 😊
Very enjoyable film. I used to watch Peter Fairley on TV at that time.
