They told them that they would have to fake the missions, and they weren't having any of it. Particularly Gus Grissom.

Then they killed them.

The Apollo 1 was not a moon landing mission. Even if these men had survived, they most likely would not have been given the mission to the walk on the moon.

You are spreading a rumor without any evidence. And I have never heard a compelling motive to fake a moon mission. But I can think of a motive to say it was a hoax.

The tabloid exclusive by Steve Herz reports that Scott Grissom, 48, has gone public with the family’s long-held belief that their father was purposefully killed during Apollo I.

Your source is.... a tabloid.

Attacking the source. A classic logical fallacy.

You perceived me stating the obvious truth as an attack on your source. I even gave you a link to your source, and quoted it. If you look again, I said neither good nor bad about your source.

Attacking the source is a logical fallacy. That's what you did.
