I hope I have been accurate in paraphrasing Lubkin, You did a good job, I checked out this article for RISKs. The only thing I would like to add is to consider the irony: we've divided the world into "NASA's ideas" and "Abu-Taha's ideas." If NASA had initially adopted "Abu-Taha's ideas," we might be hearing the name of the guy who is anonymously "NASA's ideas." [Rashomon] One more added note which I also mentioned on RISKS, checking this source out at the Ames library, I also thumbed thru "Engineering and Science" and found Feynman's Caltech obit (5 pages).
