In 1967 Frank Borman served as a member of the Apollo 204
Fire Investigation Board, investigating the causes of the
fire which killed three astronauts aboard an Apollo
spacecraft, reminiscent of the Challenger tragedy. Later
he became the Apollo Program Resident Manager, heading the
team that re-engineered the Apollo spacecraft. He also
served as Field Director of NASA's Space Station Task
Force. Frank Borman retired from the air Force in 1970,
but is well remembered as a part of this nation's history,
a pioneer in the exploration of space and a veteran of
both the Gemini 7, 1965 Space Orbital Rendezvous with
Gemini 6 and the first manned lunar orbital mission,
Apollo 8, in 1968.
