NASA was trying to avoid embarrassment and obfuscated a great deal of the information around the Challenger disaster. The NASA Administration established a technical scientific staff to do the technical investigation and report to the commissioners. However Feynman, a great scientist and mathematician, did his own analyses and calculations and even data collection and discovered that his results did bot comport with that of NASA or the commission staff which generally accepted the NASA data and analysis. It turned out that Feynman was right and he was able to expose the truth that NASA management had been responsible for the disaster for not paying attention to the data and recommendations to postpone the launch that existed.


To depose President Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam Conein was one of the first American intelligence operatives in Vietnam. Diem was a creature of the Central Intelligence Agency. An anti-Communist Christian in a Buddhist county, the CIA engineered his rise to power, created his political party, provided him with cash to bribe other Vietnamese politicians, and paid for all the propaganda so he would “win” the Presidential elections. However, he abused the Buddhists, was thoroughly corrupt and ran a corrupt administration, but worst of all from the American point of view, he was unable to motivate the South Vietnamese population to fight the Communists. He reached the point where he was more of a liability, and the CIA, through Conein, engineered a coup d’etat to remove him from power and replace him with a President more to our liking. Though not planned that way, the South Vietnam military officers who we backed in the coup, then murdered Diem, who although ineffective and unsuccessful, had been a friend and ally of the United States. Even President Kennedy felt badly about the outcome. See {634539}.
