Rick Riordan Quotes
"Something was wrong with Luke," Annabeth muttered, poking at the fire with her knife. "Did you notice the way he was acting?" "He looked pretty pleased to me," I said. "Like he'd spent a nice day torturing heroes." "That's not true! There was something wrong with him. He looked... nervous. He told his monsters to spare me. He wanted to tell me something." "Probably, 'Hi, Annabeth! Sit here with me and watch while I tear your friends apart. It'll be fun!"

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.
