As much as I enjoyed this film, I am none the less a little puzzled by the fact that Roger Boisjoly's name was not mentioned even once. After all, he was the one at Morton Thiokol who expressed a desperate concern regarding the integrity of the o-rings in the Solid Rocket Boosters at low temperature launches.
Anybody else who thought this as a little strange?
welp, Boisjoly was not the narrative of the film. If they would have included anything about Boisjoly they would have taken away some of the story about Feynman with whom the whole movie was about.
Shall we play a game?
My guess is that there were too many trails to fit into one feature film... so you have to cut a lot of detail, which is common. Take any random biographical/documentary/true story filmatisation and compare it to the corresponding wikipedia page and you're likely to find errors quite easily... My experience is that that is the rule rather than the exception.
...but, yes, it can be annoying.
Yep I thought he'd be in it seeing as Allan J MacDonald was and he had the same concerns at Thiokol.
