Roger B. Chaffee was born February 15, 1935 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. An engineer, pilot and astronaut, Chaffee lost his life in the Apollo 1 accident on January 27, 1967. The Roger That! conference, scholarly in nature and open to the general public, is co-organized by Grand Valley State University, the Grand Rapids Public Museum and the Roger B. Chaffee Scholarship Fund. Roger That! seeks to honor Chaffee and highlight local research in a two-day celebration of space exploration.
Our commitment is to keep Roger That! programming at GVSU free and accessible to all. If you’d like to help us bring in inspiring speakers, host engaging workshops, and expand our K-12 STEM outreach, please consider making a donation. Every gift makes a difference—thank you for supporting our mission to celebrate space exploration and inspire future generations!
