This unfortunate tragedy where 3 brave men gave their lives in the pursuit of the exploration of Space , did result in humankind walking on the moon before 1970.The accident changed everything in NASA and all the contractors in regard to human safety in Space flight.
My wife and I spent 3 days visiting the Kennedy Space Centre back in July 2018 where on one of our half day tours was visiting what remains of the Apollo 1 launch pad and tower. A small memorial to these astronauts is located about 25m away which is 3 marble sculptures like bench seats with their names engraved in gold.
The visit was a very moving experience indeed
Cheers
Martin
