pickThis was an emotional read for me! I was in 4th grade in Florida when it happened. My class stepped outside to watch so I saw the explosion live in the sky. And in hindsight there were so many reasons to not launch that day 😔 The story was well told by the author.
By the time the design was complete...engineers... still believed they were employing a tried-and-tested joint for their new rocket: they had avoided any potentially dangerous innovation. But this was a convenient delusion.... in creating a man-rated, fail-safe joint they had also modified it so extensively that what they produced was, in effect, a quite new and experimental design.

Cue the ominous soundtrack...

My #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin picks for January 2025 are very different books and I expect them to be great in very different ways. Looking forward to both.
Thanks for hosting another year, @TheAromaofBooks
