By the winter of 1966, the late President John F. Kennedy's dream of "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth" was in doubt. Delays in construction and test failings put the mission in doubt and the three astronauts Roger Chaffee, Virgil Grissom and Ed White, also had issues with the new craft and voiced their concerns about the quantity of flammable nylon and Velcro in the command module to Joseph Shea, manager of the Apollo Spacecraft Program Office. In a slightly tongue in cheek moment they posed for a photograph with their heads bowed and hands clasped in prayer and presented the image to Shea with a caption that read: "It isn't that we don't trust you, Joe, but this time we've decided to go over your head." Sadly the three men never reached the moon or even got off the ground, after the launch simulation on January 27, 1967 ended in tragedy when the Command Module caught fire during a preflight test at Cape Canaveral killing all three astronauts. Making the photograph all the more eerie.
