Very Intereeeessssting !!!!!!!! I believe it. You almost have to think these companies think they are the CIA or something !!!! All this cloak and daggar and smoke and mirrors crap !!! Some body at Spectrum knew this full and well and the was overridden by the powers at be saying it's not a problem or the probable failure rate was acceptable !!! Just like the the guy from Morton-Thiokol that knew there would be a failure and tried to stop the launch and was pushed away and they launched any way... And of course we all know what happened...... Makes you wonder !!!

Dan, in all fairness to Mr. Malloy, formerly of MSFC, the Thiokol guy you speak of did NOT "know there would be a failure". He strongly suspected that the risk of a failure had risen to higher, perhaps unacceptable, levels. But he certainly did not KNOW there would be an SRB failure on ascent of STS-51L.
