In "Truth, Lies, and O-Rings," engineer Allan McDonald recounts the chilling events surrounding NASA's Space Shuttle Challenger disaster on January 28, 1986, as he witnessed the tragedy unfold from the Launch Control Center. Despite voicing concerns about the launch, McDonald became a target for retribution from both NASA and his employer, Morton Thiokol, Inc. This insightful account, co-authored with aerospace historian James R. Hansen, examines the overlooked factors leading to the accident and highlights McDonald’s efforts to reveal the truth behind the catastrophe and its implications for future space missions.
