On January 28, 1986, Challenger broke apart 73 seconds after launch and all seven crew were killed. Feynman, a Nobel laureate, joined the commission investigating it.
In a televised hearing he clamped a piece of O-ring rubber, dropped it into a glass of ice water, and showed it no longer sprang back when cold. The coldest earlier launch had been 53 degrees Fahrenheit; this morning was below freezing. Engineers at Morton Thiokol had raised doubts, but communication failures meant NASA management ignored them. Feynman found the same split in the odds: roughly 1 in 100 from working engineers, 1 in 100,000 from management.
He threatened to take his name off the report unless his Appendix F went in. This line is its last sentence.

The ballroom at Buckingham Palace is 7,500 sq ft. The Kremlin's is 13,000 sq ft. The one at the Palace of Versailles is 13,500 sq ft. The Ottoman sultans' ballroom at the Dolmabahçe Palace is 21,500 sq ft. Trump's ballroom is 22,000 sq ft. So in other words, Trump's is bigger than that of all of Europe's kings, tsars, and sultans.

Impressive. It’s the remaining billion dollars that makes this saga worth watching.
