And this is why he is known as the "Rockstar Physicist"

Lol it's like he paused at the thought of saying "I believe this has some significance to how you guys fucked up" and put it more nicely as "I believe this has some significance to .... our problem."

"I believe that has some significance to our problem."
That's a very VERY gentlemanly way of putting it.....

@timothy51886 He's, he's from Queens. Rockaway Beach. It's the law there.

@timothy51886 you may wish to read about RF. true he is a bit of a maverick but one of amazing intuitive intelect. To label him the way you have is pretty lousy...perhaps you'd supply some reasonable arguements for your opinion? That is what He would have suggested. Good Luck

@VZero25 Oh... I stand corrected
-
@timothy51886 That's because he seriously pissed off. During the investigation, he found that that NASA management had no idea what they were talking about when it came to the science or safety and should've been more honest, especially when a member of the public was part of the mission. To put it into persepective, the management concluded that the odds of the shuttle exploding were 1/100,000 while the engineers who built it and never had a voice at NASA estimated 1/100 odds of disaster.

genius!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what is known as massive ownage.

The point about Challenger that I think most people miss is....Challenger didn't blow up because of a faulty O-ring. The O-ring isn't the point. It was the faulty decision making process that led to attempting to operate the O-ring in temperatures that it wasn't designed to operate in. It was the faulty decision making process....THAT was the point to be understood about the Challenger disaster. Human factors. Most people don't get that.
