Challenger Explosion - Go Fever

Join Lucien Graves as he dissects NASA's "Go Fever" — the institutional culture that normalized O-ring failures, waived safety constraints, and prioritized launch schedules over engineering warnings. Through analysis of pre-Challenger flights, internal memos predicting catastrophe, and systematic erosion of safety boundaries, this episode reveals how seven deaths resulted from knowledge without courage to act.

Challenger Explosion - The Engineers Who Knew

Host Lucien Graves examines the January 1986 Challenger disaster through the engineers who predicted it. Roger Boisjoly and his colleagues at Morton Thiokol warned that freezing temperatures would compromise the shuttle's O-ring seals. Despite their data and urgent recommendations, NASA overruled them. Seventy-three seconds after launch, seven astronauts died. This episode covers the teleconference where safety concerns were dismissed and the devastating consequences that followed.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
