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.
Of course most folks here dont really think that we have any purpose
here either.

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.
What did the venerable Feynman have to do with this?
