This critical study of NASA's space shuttle program provides an
in-depth examination of the events, decisions, and policies that
may have contributed to the horrific destruction of the shuttles
Challenger and Columbia. It first traces the early development of
NASA's shuttle program, specifically examining the problems
associated with the designs of shuttles OV-099 (which was to become
Challenger) and OV-102 (which was to become Columbia). The reader
is then taken through a detailed look at the first successful
flights made by Challenger and Columbia and the cancellation of
top-secret Shuttle flight 51-C (which would have launched under
nearly identical weather conditions as the ill-fated Challenger).
An in-depth assessment of the shuttles' disastrous final launches
follows, including detailed accounts of the post-flight search and
rescue operations, the official investigations into each accident,
and the impact of each disaster on the future of NASA's manned
space program.
