Interesting read about NASA's shuttle disasters, and how management's pig-headedness resulted in the deaths of those aboard Challenger and
Columbia. had they heeded the advice of their engineers those deaths and
the resultant delays in the US space program would have been avoided.

Not forgetting the political pressure that caused the boosters to be
built in 7 segments that had to be bolted together and sealed with O rings

I remeber being out in a desert mining camp when Chernobyl happened 3
months later, and some wag responded to the news saying "It was the O
rings!"
