From what i have heard/seen they new that some pannels form the space ship where blown off at take-off due pieces of the rocket that came off. Alot of people at NASA adviced that the astronouts should wait for a second space ship to pick them up and not try to re-enter with the damaged one but nobody listened to them and allowed the astronouts to re-enter earth atmosphere with the damaged space ship. As we all know this resuletd in the loss of the lives of the astronouts.
In the days back of the chalenger they where also warned several times that some rings wheren't gonna stand the cold weather but NASA still alowed the chalenger to lift off as planed wich resulted in the loss of the lives of the astronouts because one of those rings was leaking.
You think NASA learned it's lessons this time or that this all will have any effect on the future of NASA and/or their space program?
