On show #6, Justin talks NASA and the shuttle program with Rick Boisjoly, brother of Roger Boisjoly, who worked for Morton Thiokol, the manufacturer of the solid rocket boosters (SRBs) for the Space Shuttle program.
Join me and Rick Boisjoly as we discuss his brother, Roger Boisjoly. Roger was one of the only men with enough compassion and strength to try to stop the launch of the ill-fated Challenger launch in 1986. Hear the chilling story of this whistleblower who is a champion to anyone who believes that ethics matter.
Roger Mark Boisjoly (/boʊʒəˈleɪ/ boh-zhə-LAY;[2] April 25, 1938 – 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 the day before the loss of the spacecraft and its crew in January 1986. Boisjoly correctly predicted, based on earlier flight data, that the O-rings on the rocket boosters would fail if the shuttle launched in cold weather.
