  • disgusting example of the good guys losing...the whistleblowers were alienated from their jobs and pressured out, while the managers who killed the astronauts and annihilated a billion-dollar piece of machinery never get punished.

  • Why is it always that when something like this happens, the people who knew what they were talking about get punished or canned, while the arseholes get promoted?

  • Where is allan mcdonald in this video. He is the whole reason we have this video and data on the conspiracy. NASA what a joke. The private sector is going to kick their butt.

  • @Inferno41 thats the world we live in good guys finish last bad guys sit and laugh the good ppl always pay 4 it ppl get use 2 it

  • GET RID OF MANAGERS. WHAT A PACK OF FUCKHEADS. AMERICA IS VERY INTELLIGENT, BUT ALOT OF DUMB PEOPLE WITH NO COMMONSENSE ARE MAKING DECISIONS ABOVE THOSE PEOPLE. AS FOR THE TWO MANAGERS THAT RETIRED - I HOPE THEY LIVED A SHIT LIFE AND DIE A PAINFUL DEATH. BASTARDS.

  • If there had been a wikileaks in 1986, would there have been a Challenger disaster?

  • @specnaz1977 Check out the story of reactor core engineer (for the Fukushima plants) Mitsuhiko Tanaka.

    3 million yen bonus. 

  • @Inferno41

    the question is: why nobody sued them?

  • @jazzkeyboardman

    It's easy - it's just a chain reaction: an influential guy want to get even more influence at NASA; he's got public money to spend; a company (e.g. Thiokol) can help him up in exchange for the public money which becomes private money of Thiokol senior management; the senior management wants the money and encourages full loyalty; i.e. $50.000 personal bonus for a new contract on one hand vs lifes of 7 unknown people => for some, the choice is easy....

  • I just wonder how Thiokol won the contract for SRB in 1973 even though they had to transport it on land (which meant it had to be built in parts...)

  • @karlsmith00 Don't take his bait. He's just an America hating retard. Let him move to Dirkadirkastan or whatever Muslim country he wants to and see if he can say the same things about the government there.

  • Hey guys 3-E i'm watching you
