Wasn't it in a mock up of the Apollo capsule. From memory Gus Grissom was one of the three.

Your correct, Apollo 1.
If that happened these days that would be the end of the space program.

Whatever happened to the oxygen cafes proliferating where yuppies proliferated?
you'd see these ******* sitting there on stools sucking in oxygen , looking at you like you were really missing out on something.
Hi,
To breath O2 at pressure, a mask is needed in the chamber to localise the gas. Exhaled breath (still O2 rich) is vented outboard to atmosphere.
A compressed O2 atmosphere is potential hell, as NASA found. A similar disaster occurred in a fighter prototype with an O2 rich pressurised cockpit. A lesson not remembered.
Cheers
I've got over 2 years logged in sat and literally thousands over air dives with surface deco in chamber on O2. You have 5 minutes to make it into the chamber and down to 40'. Hyperbaric chambers are well designed for this. And yes i believe it helped some things. The process of surface deco is a bit more problematic in that newer research showed we did get lots of micro bubbles in bloodstream. So maybe some mental damage ( how could i argue that i drive a LR). But pretty easy to set up a safe chamber. For the general public they are not very comfortable noisy and can be intimidating. Useless if you have claustrophobia. There was an outfit building units for horses selling them to mid east you put horse in super oxygenate blood they then run faster.
Hi,
Strangely enough, a session of hyperbaric O2 can increase the efficacy of radiation therapy if done within 20 minutes or so.
It can also aid the healing of necrotising ulcers for diabetics.
Cheers
Deep Frozen Arctic Microbes Are Waking UpThawing permafrost is releasing microorganisms, with consequences that are still largely unknown
In the last 10 years, warming in the Arctic has outpaced projections so rapidly that scientists are now suggesting that the poles are warming four times faster than the rest of the globe. This has led to glacier melt and permafrost thaw levels that weren’t forecast to happen until 2050 or later. In Siberia and northern Canada, this abrupt thaw has created sunken landforms, known as thermokarst, where the oldest and deepest permafrost is exposed to the warm air for the first time in hundreds or even thousands of years.
Some may be good and some are known BAD "Permafrost thaw in Siberia led to a 2016 anthrax outbreak and the death of 200,000 reindeer and a child.* But the hardy spores of Bacillus anthracis may represent an exception to the brutal freeze-thaw cycle that degrades more delicate bacterial and viral pathogens. Their adaptable characteristics have allowed them to remain frozen and viable over centuries of inactivity. "
