Host Ava Grey examines the Challenger disaster through the lens of ignored data. Engineers calculated a 13% O-ring failure probability at launch temperature—orders of magnitude higher than NASA's official estimate. Memos warned of catastrophic loss. Bench tests showed seal failures below 50°F. The launch proceeded at 31°F anyway. This episode explores how institutional momentum overruled engineering evidence.
