The Challenger and Communication

Communication played a horrific role in The Challenger disaster. So much data and so many warnings, yet NASA did not seem concerned. Crew members lives should have never been risked to make anyone happy, including the government. If a teleconference had to be delayed again, so be it. If NASA would be provided enough Federal funding, they would not have to worry about pleasing government officials. I am positive that if the President would have been going on The Challenger mission, the launch would have been delayed. I don't think the problem was so much bad communication. I think the real problem was that the communication between NASA and engineers is not what NASA wanted to hear. It is a terrible disaster that should never happen again. I hope all parties involved learned a valuable lessen, even though it was at the expense of seven crew members.
