Bet you have more stories to tell. I enjoyed your post.
Roger Boisjoly was the Thiokol engineer who (rightly) was waving the red flag. But he had a cry-wolf reputation which perhaps kept others from joining him.
Eventually, NASA cobbled together rationale and strong armed Thiokol to signing on.
Charles Stevenson was maybe the only NASA manager who voted no-gp. Not because of the O-ring concern but due to the large icicles on the pad structure.
