Richard Feynman on the Challenger disaster (1986) [video]

I am always amazed how Richard Feynman can make such simple stories and comparisons to explain the situation&#x2F;theory in &quot;explain like I&#x27;m 5&quot; style.<p>It seems that in every lecture or interview he gives he can explain the situation very fluently and in a way that literally, probably, a 5 year old could understand. The best one I saw is where R. Feynman explains how a computer works [1]. Even though I knew everything he told, I was astonished how intriguing and simple his way of presenting was.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=EKWGGDXe5MA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=EKWGGDXe5MA</a>

The Appendix he refers to is here:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;science.ksc.nasa.gov&#x2F;shuttle&#x2F;missions&#x2F;51-l&#x2F;docs&#x2F;rogers-commission&#x2F;Appendix-F.txt" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;science.ksc.nasa.gov&#x2F;shuttle&#x2F;missions&#x2F;51-l&#x2F;docs&#x2F;roger...</a><p>You can see that he effectively summarized some major points of it in this TV interview using only simple story about the kid and the mother.

Engineering has an ethical responsibility to make management listen. Management has an ethical responsibility to listen to Engineering.

Is this any good BTW? <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imdb.com&#x2F;title&#x2F;tt2421662" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imdb.com&#x2F;title&#x2F;tt2421662</a>

God I love listening to this man. He was such a concise and effective speaker.

That kind of old-school journalist. Sounds pretty cold doesn&#x27;t he.
