"The obvious question, of course, is this:

Is Jess Moore leaving his job and taking a year off work because of the Challenger accident?

More came under quite a bit of pressure before a congressional committee early this summer

when his former assistant testified that he told Moore in detail almost a year ago that there were serious problems with the shuttle rocket's O-rings,

the same O-rings that eventually caused the Challenger accident.
而最終導致挑戰(zhàn)者號發(fā)生事故的正是那幾個O形環(huán)。

that he did not know the O-ring problems were serious until after the Challenger exploded.
直到挑戰(zhàn)者號爆炸后，他才知道O形環(huán)問題嚴重。
Congressional sources who've interviewed Moore told me that they have no way of knowing just who's telling the truth,

He's hollow inside, just like a lot of guys NASA who worked on the shuttle.

“杰斯·穆爾，”助手說，“出事后他完全變了個人，
and he needs a rest.' I'm daniel Zwerdling in Washington."
他需要休息。”我是丹尼爾·茲沃德林，華盛頓報道。
