This is a very well researched and written book, and a sad, ghastly
story.
It reminds me that humans have no purpose in space but to die.

Whatever our purpose, killing astronauts probably doesn't help.
Spending hundreds of billions on spam-in-a-can is a waste of resources
that could truly help.
The book is fascinating. The fatheads that decided to launch cared
about power, money, and politics. The investigations after the
disaster, the same. A few very brave engineers runined their careers
to literally shout the truth. And Richard Feynman, who knew he was
dying of cancer.
