You nailed that one perfectly, sir. Thank you.
Q @MatthewAGilbert As a member of the Rogers Commission what are your lasting thoughts re the #SpaceShuttleChallenger disaster 34 years later? A: @NASA knew there was a problem, launched anyway because the media was leaving & NASA wanted publicity. Well, they got it @HISTORY @WSJ

It was criminal. Worst day Every kid watched it on TV. Thiokal engineers begged their bosses not to launch. This was a know problem and the bosses totally ignored the warnings. NASA violated their own mission rules. Just a horrendous situation and terrible engineering. Still mad!
-
Hang on. Not terrible engineering. The o-rings had a spec. The engineers told them they would be operating outside of that spec and the rings would. People going off script and making it up as they went was the problem. It's a fucking rocket. You don't just decide to wing it.

General Yeager we need your help to keep NASA on track to go back to the moon. The recent NASA authorization bill from the House is a step backwards.

Why go back to the moon?
