RIP former Morton Thiokol engineer Allan J. McDonald. If you've ever watched a documentary on the Challenger disaster, you probably saw Al McDonald. McDonald was the head of the booster program at Thiokol, which provided the SRBs for the Shuttle program. The day before the launch, McDonald and his team of engineers strenuously opposed launching during a teleconference with NASA officials, arguing that the freezing overnight temperatures made the launch unsafe. NASA officials pressured Thiokol for approval, and Thiokol management stepped in to override the engineers' decision and sign off on the launch. McDonald, who would normally be the one approving a launch, refused to do so and refused to sign the documents that Thiokol management put in front of him, saying "If anything happens to this launch, I wouldn’t want to be the person that has to stand in front of a board of inquiry to explain why we launched." Later on, McDonald blew the whistle on what happened when NASA and Thiokol attempted to downplay the events of that teleconference before the presidential commission. In return, Thiokol retaliated against McDonald and demoted him, but members of Congress introduced a joint resolution that threatened to forbid Thiokol from getting future NASA contracts given the company's punishment of McDonald and any other Thiokol engineers who spoke up. Thiokol backed down, promoted McDonald to vice president, and put him in charge of the (successful) effort to redesign the SRB joints that failed during the Challenger launch. McDonald died Saturday in Ogden, Utah, after suffering a fall and brain damage. He was 83 years old. RIP.

RIP Roger Mudd last of NBC News. I had no idea he was still with us until today. Great broadcaster voice.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/ob ... table-mainHis 1979 interview of Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts was credited with crushing the senator’s presidential ambitions just as he was preparing to challenge President Jimmy Carter for the 1980 Democratic nomination.
Kennedy awkwardly offered incomplete, rambling answers to basic questions about his family and personal life and was stopped cold when Mr. Mudd asked him directly: “Why do you want to be president?”
There was a long, awkward pause before Kennedy could say a word. When Mr. Mudd asked what distinguished him from Carter, Kennedy failed to provide substantive answers to fundamental questions, giving viewers the impression that the senator was ill-prepared for the job of commander in chief.

I remember him being on NBC Nightly News growing up and thought he was there longer than what he was. Turns out he was only there for maybe 3 years.
Mudd jumped from CBS to NBC after Dan Rather got the CBS Evening News spot in late 1980, with Rather making his debut in March 1981. Wikipedia shows Mudd's last day on NBC Nightly News as 9/5/83.
