Richard Feynman, the Challenger Disaster & Software Engineering…

Earlier today I came across a blog posting by Gustavo Duarte about Richard Feynman, the Challenger Disaster and Software Engineering, an interesting read in itself as he points out that Richard Feynman described Unit Testing in his report (Appendix F – Personal Observations on the reliability of the Shuttle) into the Challenger disaster.

However, this prompted me into reading more about Richard Feynman, on Wikipedia to the point that I’ve just ordered a copy of What Do You Care What Other People Think? from Amazon!
