Challenger disaster. was not a matter of design or management but environmental and political correctness.

NASA has a history since the early 60s of picking projects that are politically correct, expensive, and drawn out by years and decades, usually going nowhere (other than the aborted Apollo program).

Really? The Challenger disaster was due to o-ring failure from being too cold. There were two engineers who warned management that it was going to happen that morning.
