EvenWorseOpinions posted:I thought I also remembered people having concerns that galvanic corrosion wasn't understood at the time and that it weakened the rivets, increasing the damage. On the other hand I would think they would have figured out the rough principles of galvanic corrosion since they had been copper bottoming ships since the early 1800s and the titanic wasn't the first metal hulled ship The first ship launched in the “independence class” LCS program for the US Navy suffered from “aggressive disintegration” due to corrosion... I don’t think it had any real corrosion protection systems cause the hull was aluminum and that doesn’t corrode! That ship was launched in 2008 and commissioned in 2010. Its scheduled to be decommissioned next year already. The whole LCS program is a disaster though, so it’s not just cause the hull was disintegrating.

Fuzzy Mammal posted:The recent netflix documentary series on challenger was really quite good. It had all the principle players involved and presented things, in my mind at least, in a pretty evenhanded way. Seeing the anguish in the thiokol folks for not stepping up more forcefully, still acute 35 years later, was powerful. Watching William Lucas, the director of the space center on launch day, defend his decision to launch and say he would make the same decision today based on the same information was equally powerful, in a different way. That guy's method of coping has been flat out denial and it was fascinating, and a little horrifying, to watch. My favorite bit, even though I remember it from when it happened (yes I'm old) is Richard Feynman straight up owning the Rogers Commission and, by extension, Regan himself (who wanted NASA absolved of blame) with his little rubber O-ring parlor trick on camera, which only he could have pulled off. What I didn't know is he colluded on making it public with an Air Force general who had the intel slipped to him by Sally Ride, of all people. And that's why so much info about the O ring failure is publicly known. Edit: this specifically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raMmRKGkGD4 Sally Ride got inside Intel from lower-level NASA and Thiokol engineers regarding the O-ring issues but knew she would be stonewalled. She passed it to General Kutyna, who at the Air Force had managed the Defense aspect of the Shuttle program and actually gave a poo poo about the astronauts since so many were previously under his command, and he in turn gave it to Feynman, as only a Nobel-prize winning physicist would be taken seriously with such a short demonstration. It worked, spectacularly well, and re-focused the entire commission on the problem. Ixian fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Sep 29, 2020 |

Fun Fact: HydraPak Inc, the company that made the o-rings for the boosters on Challenger, was owned by Lyle and Warren Jeffs, leaders of the Mormon offshoot cult the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The FLDS was famous for, among other things, farming out its vast army of young kids to work in the various businesses that made the Jeffs' a lot of money. There is a very non-zero change that some aspect of the manufacture of those rings was done by what amounts to a child slave of a pedophilic sex cult.

haveblue posted:Yeah but that wasn't because the shipbuilding industry as a whole didn't know about it, that was because one bean counter somewhere struck out the corrosion preventer as a cost-saving measure I keep hearing this and nobody has ever provided a single bit of evidence for it. I mean, not even any reporting that I can find says that. A complete failure of anyone to design a cathodic-protection system into the ship is far more likely and believable than a single bean counter somewhere saying "CPS protection? Sounds expensive, delete that," and everyone else just saying "okay." FWIW, Austal says they built a lot of ships that way and the only group having problems was the USN because everyone else follows its recommended operational maintenance procedures. If a manufacturer had laid that kind of blame on the USN in the 80s, I'd have considered it risible, but the current USN is so broken that this also is entirely believable.

The engineer on the phone you just called because you saw something you didn't recognize and wanted more information before you made an arbitrary decision told you. That is a purely theoretical scenario though. No one has actually ever tested this in the real world.
