I have read several times that had he not been killed in the Apollo 1 fire, that Gus Grissom would have been the first man to set foot on the moon (according to Deke Slayton and others). But, what of the other two crew members? How highly regarded were they? White having done the first space walk and all.

One other bit of "passive" evidence about their skills. They were scheduled for the first flight of a new vehicle of the - ultimate type that was aimed for the moon.<br /><br />That says an awful lot to me.<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>
