I wonder if Rush was an engineer or just a slick talking huckster pimping his proruct?
I rather got the impression that he was a slick salesman.
Which would be fine, if he hired good engineers and LISTENED TO THEM.
But he didn’t.
That crap about middle-aged White men being “uninspiring” shows that the project was doomed from the start.
(And some retired engineers from Morton Thiokol are saying “here we go again ...”)
