Personal account of Roger Boisjoly, a Morton Thiokol engineer who interacted with Feynman during the time of the Rogers Commission on the space shuttle. by Roger M. Boisjoly. I met Richard Feynman during very tough personal circumstances while on the receiving end of questions during the investigation of the Challenger disaster. I was the principal engineer on the SRM joints and one of the Morton Thiokol (MTI) engineers who made the futile attempt to stop the launch.
By peculiar coincidence, Roger Mark Boisjoly, who died last month, aged 73, lived as long in years as Challenger did in seconds. Roger Mark Boisjoly (/ ˌ b oʊ ʒ ə ˈ l eɪ / BOH-zhə-LAY; [2] Ap – January 6, 2012) was an American mechanical engineer, fluid dynamicist, and an aerodynamicist.He is best known for having raised strenuous objections to the launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger months before the loss of the spacecraft and its crew in January 1986.

Richard Feynman, then still at Princeton, had secured some notoriety among his peers as to his exceptional talents in math and physics, and the physicist Robert Wilson gently prodded him to join what was considered one of the most vital wartime projects of all.

Life – Richard Feynman
As Richard Feynman said in his famous Appendix F to the Rogers Commission report, "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled". Not even with our latest management techniques can nature be fooled, no matter how much six-sigma, 4S, and what-have-you gets deployed. Quotes – Richard Feynman But tucked between these two dates is the year 1918, and in the spring of that year there came into the world another sweeping icon capable of single handedly defining twentieth century physics, and that icon was, and is, Richard Feynman. He was born into what was, in retrospect, perhaps an intellectual stew simmering to perfection. 2.Roger M.

One of the commission's best-known members was theoretical physicist Richard Feynman. His style of investigating with his own direct methods rather than following the commission schedule put him at odds with Rogers, who once commented, "Feynman is becoming a real pain.".
