Re: This guy might be a genius...

An old friend of mine from school, Alton Keel, hired Feynman for the Rogers Comission investigating the Challenger disaster, along with Sally Ride and other luminaries. Feynman, of course, was the one who dunked a small rubber ring in a glass of icewater during a meeting of the commision, demonstrating the feasibility of the theory that icy conditions at time of launch were responsible for the failure of O-rings. Keel was executive director of the Rogers Commision. There is a story running around that when Feynman first met Keel in DC he said something that pissed Keel off, but noone seems to know what that was.
