Pad 34 launch stand - Cape Canaveral

Pad 34 launch stand

Duty, Honor, Country

The effort to get into space has cost the lives of many brave men and women. One place you can visit at Cape Canaveral that holds a special meaning to many people is Pad 34. It was on Pad 34 that the fire inside the Apollo 1 capsule took the lives of Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee, and Ed White. If you visit Pad 34, you will see the plaque honoring them.
This is a special place and one is expected to show respect for those men. Our guide had the men in the party remove their hats while there as a show of respect. Be mindful of where you are.
