Challenger Engineer Who Warned Of Shuttle Disaster Dies, NPR
“Bob Ebeling spent a third of his life consumed with guilt about the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. But at the end of his life, his family says, he was finally able to find peace. “It was as if he got permission from the world,” says his daughter Leslie Ebeling Serna. “He was able to let that part of his life go.” Ebeling died Monday at age 89 in Brigham City, Utah, after a long illness, according to his daughter Kathy Ebeling.”

    It’s so sad that one of the few people who tried to stop the Challenger tragedy spent so much of his life beating himself up because he could not stop it. Godspeed Mr. Ebeling.

    Agreed – sad and ironic.
