Prime crew members announced by NASA for the first manned Apollo 1 flight practice water egress procedures in a swimming pool at Ellington Air Force Base in Houston. Astronaut Edward H. White II rides life raft in the foreground. Astronaut Roger B. Chaffee sits in hatch of the boilerplate model of the spacecraft. Astronaut Virgil I.

The craters, detonated with various explosives, looked similar to the ones found in particular landing sites on the Moon.
