The Challenger Failure

Feynmann on the Challenger failure. A classic for anyone who wants to understand, for instance, the global warming debate, or fusion research. Not because these have anything to do with O-rings on the space shuttle, but to absorb the manner of thinking and learn the right questions to ask.

"The presentation or 'gift' of the Holy Ghost simply confers upon a man the right to receive at any time, when he is worthy of it and desires it, the power and light of truth of the Holy Ghost, although he may often be left to his own spirit and judgment." --Joseph F. Smith (manual, p. 69)

Be pretty if you are,
Be witty if you can,
But be cheerful if it kills you.
