You just ruined Feynman's image in my eyes.
From what I heard from my prof.dr.sc.'s he was a great figure in my eyes, but from what I just saw and heard, he's rather boring.
WAIT WHAT?!
He hated the politics as they are, he didn't want to be part of the investigation about Challenger. But then he did, well because he was curious.
He found some strange things, but they didn't want to include it in the report, because it "could be too damaging to NASA". He threatened them that he won't sign it if they won't include it. (He isn't just a man of pretty words how we should love ourselves etc. but he stands behind his words too.) They included it in some shatty appendix but well as he later said:
"I didn't found out much i found out later, and when i thought i was doing something independently, I was being worked, operated by somebody else, who wanted to get something done without involving himself, and so forth. Those guys are clever you know. I think i am running on my own hook, getting a clue here a clue there, but those clues were just little taps, to make me running in right direction.."
But i really like his ending of Appendix it's really nice: " NASA owes it to citizens from whom it asks support to be frank, honest, and informative, so that these citizens can make the wisest decisions for the use of their limited resources.
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for a nature cannot be fooled."
Haha i could be a subtitler
