Dr Richard Feynman was widely acclaimed when he “discovered” that the O rings were the cause. But if the engineer knew the cause the day before the launch, and he told others, why the big deal made about Feynman? He simple discovered what was already known. Or was there a cover up and the engineer never said anything throughout the big investigation. Sorry, I just don't get this.

Because Feynman was as much publicity hound as he was scientist.

Feynman did a demonstration with ice water that even the idiots in the press could understand.

Because he made the point in a Congressional hearing, in a memorable way. Feynman was a pretty good guy. The world was lucky to have had him. Wiki's take on the role of Feynman in the Rogers Commission Report
Worth a read. Feynman uncovered many institutional problems within NASA.
