I have long remembered the names Grissom, White and Chafee, the fateful crew of Apollo 1.
Space flight as with aviation learns from its mistakes. Had Apollo 1 not happened, and the lessons learned, there could have been a far more significant failure in flight.

In Antarctica, a long-watched rift in the Brunt Ice Shelf produced an iceberg about twice the size of New York City: Iceberg-A81. 🧊
The iceberg, with an area of 1550 square kilometers (about 600 square miles), was captured by @nasa’s Terra satellite.
Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf Finally Breaks
A long-watched rift has spawned an iceberg about twice the size of New York City.go.nasa.gov
#ICYMI: In February 2021, the Brunt Ice Shelf calved A-74, an iceberg that spanned about 1270 square kilometers (490 square miles), or about twice the size of Chicago.
Breakup at Brunt
A large iceberg finally split from the Antarctic ice shelf, but another piece stubbornly hangs on.go.nasa.gov
