The Thiokol "don't launch/do launch" Challenger memo
I have added a copy of the hand-written document that is historically
interesting - and, frankly, kinda sad - a copy of the presentation put together by the Morton Thiokol engineers the night before the Challenger launch where they show that chances were good that the seals would leak and the Shuttle shouldn't fly. It's a demonstration of how the Morton Thiokol engineers foresaw trouble with Challenger the day before flight, and what management did about it. http://www.up-ship.com/drawndoc/drawndocsale.htm |
