Also, von Pragenau's obituary (he died a few months before the Wired article was published, apparently): http://www.hamptoncovefuneralhome.com/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=2150841&fh_id=13813 http://www.hamptoncovefuneralhome.com/fh/obituaries/obituary...
- eplanit 11y agoNot related per se but for that reason all the more interesting. The Wired article refers to a different 1984 patent grant for another Pragenau invention which, had it been utilized by NASA, would have prevented the Challenger accident. It seems Pragenau is an un[der]sung hero.
