What was the fatal flaw that caused the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster?
In: 695
The “fatal flaw” was poor communication. There was an engineer who knew about the O-ring issue, and knew they should not launch in that weather. He even put together a presentation before the launch that talked about it (among other things). But the information was presented in a way that you could walk away underestimating the risk.
Clear technical communication is insanely important.
