Question:

Morton Thiokol doesn't want to appear like a company with a flawed product, so they would prefer that Boisjoly play down the O-ring problem. While there have been a few cases of hot gas blow-by, almost twenty flights have flown successfully. Boisjoly has already written memos expressing his view of the seriousness of the joint problem. What can he do now?

Answer: Inform the media.

Whom would you contact and what would you tell them? That the seals still do not work well? That NASA does not want you to tell people that the seals do not work well? Do you have reason to think that the media would be interested? Do you know that, if interested, the media would use the information to see that the problem is fixed?
