Little-known bit of trivia I found out the other day... William Peterson, who plays Gil Grissom is a fan of the late astronaut Virgil 'Gus' Grissom, so he insisted on having the character's last name honoring him.
USAF Lt. Col. Virgil Ivan 'Gus' Grissom - MR-4 Liberty Bell 7, Gemini 3 Molly Brown, commander, Apollo 1. Killed in spacecraft fire during countdown demonstration test January 27, 1967 with crewmates Edward White and Roger Chaffee. Buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
