The real simple answer is, Dr. Feynman, a famous scientist, found pretty much immediately that hubris caused the explosion.

Sure the technical reason was that an O-ring leaked due to temperatures out of range. It was too cold to work.

But if it wasn’t that then something else would have caused a similar incident. Because there were cultural issues at NASA which hindered aggressive solution finding and vetting.
