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).
