chris3bs Posted November 15, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2018 I had not known that Virgil Grissom's widow had died last month. Almost 50 years since Virgil died in that horrendous fire. I was watching the liftoff that day only being 7 years old. She sacrificed as much as her husband had during her lifetime. RIp Betty Grisssom.

chris3bs Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted November 17, 2018 I understand she brought a lawsuit against NASA and won. At least she was able to speak for Virgil. One brave person IMO even if the astronauts knew the risks going in. I salute these pioneers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikie Posted November 17, 2018 Share #6 Posted November 17, 2018 It seems NASA didn't treat her very well after the fire, and she wasn't the type to take that laying down. Rest in peace, Betty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
