Final report on Columbia Shuttle released.	by Avium	2006-11-19 12:55:59
Ars Technica has an item about the report from CAIB. Seems the board wasn't too happy about the culture and attitudes of the management at NASA. They even manage to point the finger all the way to the top. In one of its sharpest criticisms, which had not been detailed prior to the final report, the CAIB makes it clear that schedule pressure imposed by O'Keefe in order to appease the US Congress apparently played a significant role in causing managers all the way down the line to downplay risks and sweep aside clear warning signs. Sounds almost exactly like big business, don't it?
