50 years ago to the minute - give or take.

I just watched the Apollo 1 episode from HBO's excellent "From the Earth to the Moon."

At the same time the tragedy occurred, several astronauts were at a White House reception to celebrate a space exploration treaty. We made an agreement with the USSR to immediately repatriate the spacecraft and crew if they landed in the other country's territory.
