Unfortunately, I never received any comments back and never knew if they had been incorporated into reports up through the management structure. The major activity that day focused upon the predicted 18 degrees Fahrenheit overnight temperature. Contrary to everyone's expectations, it is now predicted that the next day's temperature in Florida will exceed the record cold experienced the previous year. The next day is the day scheduled for the Challenger flight. Boisjoly is firmly convinced that this extreme weather condition presents a major threat to the capacity of the O-ring seals to perform their function, and thus to the survival of the flight crew.
