A little history that's worth re-reading (Shuttle disaster)
A bit less than 17 years ago the nobel prize winning physicist Richard Feynman added an addendum to the Roger's commission investigation of the Challenger space shuttle disaster. It's worth re-visiting Feynman's report.

Thanks for posting this Alex. FWIW, I knew several people involved with the shuttle project during its formative years so to speak. They all mentioned the boosters and the tiles as critical points. History has now proven them correct in their views. Not that they assumed failures, just that these components caused more loss of sleep than others. I remember one of them being troubled by the Teacher in space program since it suggested people were not looking at the risks properly. I also knew Christa, and I believe she would have taken the risks if she had known them.
