He came back into prominence shortly before his death, firstly with the release of his autobiography ''Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!'', and secondly when he managed to get himself assigned to the Rogers Commission, which had been set up to investigate the Space Shuttle ''Challenger'' disaster. Feynman was concerned that the commission, whose members initially consisted largely of former politicians and business executives (they would, in the event, add a few more scientists after Feynman came on-board), had been set up simply to rubber-stamp a verdict that the disaster had been a freak accident and was unlikely ever to be repeated. He thus extensively investigated the shuttle programme and NASA in general, and while other members of the commission independently reached the same conclusion as Feynman -- that the extremely low temperatures on launch day caused the rubber O-ring seals on the launch boosters to lose their elasticity and fail to properly seal, allowing the exhaust gases to burn through with catastrophic results -- he was the one who demonstrated that point in a televised hearing, via the simple yet very effective method of dunking an elastic band into a glass of ice water, and showing that it became far less elastic as a result.
