“Both the Challenger and Columbia disasters were blamed, in part, on miscommunication and broken safety cultures within the space agency.”

What the hey does “broken safety cultures” mean?

Thank you.

This is gubmint officialeze for we put in a whole bunch of managers who understand nothing except bureaucratic process, and then when something bad happens it must be because you need even more bureaucratic process.

Consequently the organization spirals down the drain growing and expanding in so-called subject matter experts, which is a fancy name for a self-appointed pundit on some particular safety problem you didn't even know you had until some other SME told you you need to hire some more SME's. Pretty soon you can get absolutely nothing done at all.
