To celebrate the 40th anniversary of its Apollo flights, NASA has debuted the first of a series of animated comics dedicated to the Apollo 7 mission, as part of an interactive feature on NASA.gov.  Each of the subsequent comics will debut with the anniversary of each of the missions. |

Nicely done, but too bad they suggest that the mission flew with a command module only... |

I agree Ed. When I first saw the graphic, I thought it was yours. I know they wanted to focus on the test flight of the CM but they really should have included the SM as well.It's a great idea though. |

Another minor nitpick would be - all three of the crew did not catch colds, only two. |

Probably not the best idea to have jettisoned the apex cover while still in orbit, either... |

They mixed up Rusty and McDivitt. They made McDivitt the redhead. Otherwise I like these videos a lot. |

They really need to correct that - and pay attention - otherwise Buzz will take the first step on the Moon. |

I alerted NASA to their mix-up and they have now corrected the "animation anomaly". |
