"Ich will so viel sagen doch ich weis nicht wie."
— Apollo 3, unverwundbar
During the party Hugo was sure to avoid any contact with Apollo for more than a few short seconds in fear of someone else discovering his secret just as his sister did at the festival weeks ago. Even then he would try to pick out his boyfriend in the crowd of people dancing every so often just to see what he’s up to. While at the party he planned on setting a limit for himself so he doesn’t embarrass himself or anyone he knows, but that definitely went out the window the moment he inadvertently outed himself during what he thought would be a harmless game of truth or dare. Instead of withdrawing from the group playing after his admission of his truth he decided to stick around until the game died out and he took shot after shot of straight firewhiskey to help with his nerves. Instead of sticking around when the party was officially over, Hugo braved the streets of London alone until he somehow made it safely to his destination. He knew that he could not come home to face his parents in the state that he’s in, so it seems like they’ll have to be put on the back burner for a moment while he sobers up at his boyfriend’s place. Since the two didn’t leave together he figured that Apollo would already be at his place, but after shouting his name a few times with no response he figured he was either on his way home or still at the party. Hugo stumbles his way towards the kitchen in search of something edible to munch on when he reminds himself there’s a tub of ice cream in the freezer that’s calling his name. Right when he’s about to take it out the freezer he can hear the front door closing, which makes his face light up considerably. “Babe, you’re home! I was kind of worried that you were going to leave me all by my lonesome in that big bed of yours.” Just then he stumbles forward, but does grab the counter in time to give him some much needed support. He giggles the second he finds some stability and adds in, “fuck, I almost fell there.”

"In the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building, workers mate the Apollo CM-011 to its Service Module, with its two blue-painted fuel-cells visible."

AS-202 Apollo Command Module (CM-011) being lifted to be mated to its Service Module.
"The CM’s configuration was nearly identical to one that could carry a crew, including a fully functioning life support system. The major significant difference was that CM-011 did not incorporate crew couches. During the flight, mission objectives would include testing the two power-generating fuel cells in the SM, as well as demonstrating the critical multiple restart capability of the Service Propulsion System (SPS) main engine."

Cancelled Missions: Apollo AS-278
Planned launch: August 1967
Launch Vehicle: Saturn IB SA-207 and SA-208
Spacecraft: CSM-101 and LM-2
Prime crew:
-Commander: James Alton McDivitt
-Command Module Pilot: David Randolph Scott
-Lunar Module Pilot: Russell Louis "Rusty" Schweickart
Backup crew:
-Commander: Patten "Tom" Stafford CDR
-Command Module Pilot: John Watts Young
-Lunar Module Pilot: Eugene Andrew "Gene" Cernan
The mission number of AS-278, came from Saturn IB AS-207 and AS-208. It was also known as Apollo 3 and was planned as an D-type mission.
"It was planned that McDivitt's crew would conduct the Apollo D mission - a first manned test in earth orbit of the Lunar Module. Separate Saturn IB launches would put Apollo Block II CSM 101 / AS-207 and Lunar Module LM-2 / AS-208 into earth orbit a day later. The crew would then rendezvous and dock with the lunar module and put it through its paces.
When Schirra's Apollo 2 / AS-205 mission was cancelled in November 1966, the booster went to McDivitt's mission, and it was called AS-205/208, or AS-258."

This flight was cancelled due of the Apollo 1 launch pad fire on January 27, 1967. After the fire, it was decided to launch the mission on a single Saturn V as Apollo 9. The prime crew remained the same for Apollo 9 but the backup crew flew as Apollo 10.
