They (low-minded) ones should never be trusted.
Chanakya. Chanakya Neeti. Translated by B. K. Chaturvedi, Diamond Pocket Books, 2001.
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.
Chanakya (IAST: Cāṇakya, pronunciation (help·info)) was an ancient Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist and royal advisor. He is traditionally identified as Kauṭilya or Vishnugupta, who authored the ancient Indian political treatise, the Arthashastra, a text dated to roughly between the 4th century BCE and the 3rd century CE. As such, he is considered the pioneer of the field of political science and economics in India, and his work is thought of as an important precursor to classical economics. His works were lost near the end of the Gupta Empire in the 6th century CE and not rediscovered until the early 20th century.
