THE CHALLENGER DISASTER: THE ENGINEERS WHO TRIED TO STOP IT
Episode 105 | Historical Events
In this History episode we focus on January 28th, 1986 — and specifically the night before, when Morton Thiokol engineers told NASA not to launch in the cold, presented data showing the O-rings would fail, were overruled by managers told to take off their engineering hats, and watched seven people die the next morning because they were right.
The last recorded words from the crew were pilot Michael Smith's voice: "Uh oh."
