Probers fault flight hardware in Apollo 14 oxygen tank blaze
A NASA board blames flight chiefs for wiring and heater failures that allowed a tank fire on Apollo 14. Overvoltage on the heater welded shut safety switches, letting temperatures surge toward 1000 degrees and burn insulation in pure oxygen. Bare wires sparked, tearing through the tank and a panel, cutting oxygen and power. Cortright, Armstrong, and other officials reviewed lab tests. hardware changes are planned and the moon mission is postponed to December 3.
