The same thing that happened to Gemini 1 and 2:  they were unmanned
tests.  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.
