Summary

SKIP TO 00:29:31 TO GET TO THIS WEEK’S STORY Welcome to Episode 137 of Let’s Get Haunted! On July 20, 1969, the United States Apollo 11 Mission made history when two of its astronauts - Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin - became the first humans to ever set foot on the moon. Though Apollo 11 is perhaps the most well-known of the Apollo Program's missions, it never would've been possible without its predecessors. Astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee were the three brave astronauts assigned to the first of these historic spaceflights: Apollo 1. A critical moment along the Space Race timeline, Apollo 1 represented the first phase of NASA's project to put men on the moon before the Soviets. When all 3 of these astronauts shockingly perished in a fire during a mock launch exercise, rumors and conspiracy theories began to swirl. Were their brutal deaths an accident? Or were Grissom, White, and Chaffee murdered? When a whistleblower mysteriously ended up dead after testifying in front of Congress, suspicions only deepened. Join us as we explore the winding unsolved mystery known as the Apollo 1 Conspiracy!
