In fact, there may have been some retroactive renumbering (bletch), because making the Grissom/White/Chaffee mission "Apollo 1" was a memorial afterthought, not the original intent. In the normal course of events, G/W/C would have been Apollo 7 or thereabouts. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
