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.
Sounds like an expanded rehash of the presidential commission report. For
the other side of the story, I highly recommend Diane Vaughan’s “The
Challenger Launch Decision”.
