Where were you when Challenger Exploded?
#34
RE: Where were you when Challenger Exploded?
I was watching the launch on TV, just sitting open mouthed at the screen. I later heard that the engineers from Morton Thiocol who made the solid fuel boosters warned NASA not to launch at the low temperatures as the rubber sealing rings could get brittle ... they didn't listen. Sad
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
