Hind sight is 20/20, but I wonder why they didn’t start working on a redesign of the O-rings sooner if they knew in advance there was a problem. I know those guys felt terrible about it. It was a tragic management decision.

My opinion is that TPTB were too invested in the Christa McAuliff hype, and nothing was going to stall that.
