This got me following the rabbit hole and I found this NYTimes article from 1987 about the subsequent lawsuit against Morton Thiokol by Boisjoly. https://www.nytimes.com/1987/01/29/us/engineer-who-opposed-launching-challenger-sues-thiokol-for-1-billion.html https://www.nytimes.com/1987/01/29/us/engineer-who-opposed-l... If you forgot how different things were back then, here are a few highlights: Thiokol spokesmen ''consistently and falsely'' portrayed Mr. Boisjoly as ''a disgruntled or malcontented employee whose views should be discounted and whose professional expertise should be doubted,'' the suit said. It cited press interviews in which Thiokol spokesmen labeled Mr. Boisjoly a ''tattletale'' and an ''impatient'' employee who tried to hire subcontractors in violation of a contract. Roger stood his ground and paid dearly for it, kudos to him for having some integrity.
