The final sentence from Feynman's report: "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." For nature cannot be fooled. If only more would take that simple lesson to heart.

What a strange, bygone era, when science and scientists featured on the news. We need far more science journalism - it's the only topic that ever really begets good news!

Back when CNN covered events rather spouting propaganda.

This guy is an un-utterable genuis. Very few people who have a brain that size can explain things so well to a layman, that's why he gets the affection he deserves.

We need more Richard Feynman in the world.

I'm always struck at Feynman's genius for finding apt analogies (where possible) to communicate complex phenomena. His one about the child who repeatedly runs into the street without looking is the perfect sort of elaboration to use in order to get across NASA's negligence in responding to a known engineering defect. 17 years later, the similarly glaring fact that chunks of ice and insulation were pummeling the shuttles during lift-off turned out to be the exact same kind of high-probability gamble he was warning NASA about here. "It can't be a problem if nothing really bad happened before." The child, as it turned out, never was fully educated.

I remember all of the times Richard Feynman's name came up during this investigation.He was without a doubt the correct man for the job and at one time he had told Washington he didn't want to be on the committee.A friend of his (maybe a family member) told him that he should do it because if anything was going to be missed then he was the very man with his unique point of view that would catch it.A man with a great mind that I got to meet during the Apollo days.

If i have children some day, i'll make sure they have Feynman as a role model.

brilliant analogy of the child running into the road that captures the culture of NASA management...What an inspiring individual.

Feynman is the "Clint Eastwood of Physics".

"I don't know how to assign blame and whether it does any good. The question is, how do we educate the child?"

Richard Feynman could explain the process of paint drying and it would sound extraordinary.

Genius is such an overused word, except in the case of Richard Feynman.

Every office culture I have worked in, and there have been quite a few, would fit Feynman's analysis of not wanting to hear bad news.

Every time I watch or listen to Richard Feynman, I get this childlike wonder and happiness.

Perfect example of how a simple analogy can explain a complex situation- thank you Richard Feynman

I always search for Richard Feynman in youtube, hoping to find new videos. Glad to find this practice of mine rewarded.

Feynman was the foremost mind in quantum mechanics, but still had the integrity to admit he really didn’t understand it.

Man, do I love Feynman!

Feynman Clearly was Not just a Great Scientist.
