Did you know that one of the Apollo
0:01
missions almost ended in mutiny? Apollo
0:03
7 was NASA's first crewed mission after
0:05
three astronauts died in a fire during
0:07
Apollo 1. Tensions were high. It started
0:10
with NASA overrule its own safety rules
0:12
and launched in poor weather. This
0:13
ticked off Commander Wally Schirra, who
0:15
had just come down with a head cold. A
0:17
cold in space is way worse than on Earth
0:19
because the fluids don't drain in
0:20
microgravity. Not to mention the crew
0:22
was sleep-deprived, trapped in close
0:24
quarters, and overworked. So, first the
0:26
crew refused to test the onboard TV
0:28
cameras when ordered to by mission
0:30
control. And later during re-entry, the
0:32
crew refused to wear their helmets as
0:34
ordered. This was unprecedented, a mini
0:36
mutiny in space. I mostly think the crew
0:38
just wanted to show NASA they were human
0:40
beings, not just astronauts following
0:41
orders. Or maybe it was part of an evil
0:43
plan by Schirra to retire and become a
0:45
spokesman for cold medicine. Either way,
0:47
none of them ever went to space again.
