The purpose of this memo is to analyze the accessibilityand ethicsof three technicaldocuments inthe Challenger Case Study: Document A: Ray January 1978 Memo, Document B: Ray January 1979 Memo, and Document F: BoisjolyJuly 1985 Memo. The 1986 Challenger explosion stands as one of the most tragic incidents of space travel in US history. Perhaps the most shockingdetail of the accident is that theproblemthat caused the explosion, issues with the O-ring,had been known for years before the launch.…

Putting her right foot out, she mounted the log and shut her eyes. Lifting her skirt, leveling her cane fiercely before her like a festival figure in some parade, she began to march across. Then she opened her eyes and she was safe on the other side. 'I wasn't as old as I thought,' she said. But she sat down to rest. She spread her skirts on the bank around her and folded her hands over her knees. Up above her was a tree in a pearly cloud of mistletoe. She did not dare to close her eyes,…

My initial feeling towards Lady Brett Ashley is that she is a woman with a false sense of self-understanding. She behaves as if she is in control, doing what she wants and taking what is hers, but is clueless to the fact that what she is after won’t give her contentment. Her aimless attempts to fill what is missing in her life at the expense of her lovers and friends makes me feel that she is a manipulative and harmful person. However, as the story continues and I reflect further on Brett as a…

years ago on February 1, 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia Crashed. Columbia launched January 16, 2003. Around 82 seconds after Columbia had lifted-off a piece of foam had fallen from a “biopod ramp” which was a piece that helped support the external tank. With this piece fallen the department of defense prepared to use the orbital spy cameras to get a look at the left wing. However, NASA officials declined the offer. On the day of February 1,2003, Columbia was making a normal landing approach to…

On January 28, 1986, heartbreaking tragic event of the Space Shuttle Challenger. The explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger took the lives of beloved people; Michael Smith, Dick Scobee, Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Gregory Jarvis, and school teacher Sharon Christa McAuliffe. This event of the take-off was viewed by many Americans, including school children. President Ronald Reagan delivered a comforting and honoring speech, the “Shuttle Challenger Disaster Address.” In this…

It was a normal summer day in the fields and meadows of a small country side, where a young boy lived by a particular creek, where magical things happen and dreams came true.When there was a breeze the water would mist onto the house,causing it to become a magical house for a magical and tough boy. His name is Floresis and as a young hero, only 17 years old, he can still pack a very brutal punch to whatever stands in his way. He would start off his day by polishing and shining his magic scythe,…

“If you lose military people during a military operation; it’s sad and it’s tragic, but they’re professionals doing a job… But you’re taking someone who’s not a professional and it happened to be that mission that got lost- it added to the shock.” said Chiao, a former astronaut. The shuttle Challenger had gone into space nine times before this mission. All nine of those missions had launched and landed properly without any trouble, so they were not expecting this shock. The Challenger shuttle…

I feel her sharp fangs pierce the flesh on my neck. Sucking the Blood strait from the vain. There was no selfcontrole to stop her only the smell off blood drawing her in. I stood helpless and screaming in pain. Being slowly drained. She realised me and I fell to the cold concrete floor. Her mouth was covered in my blood as she wiped it away. My vision was fading to black. She knelt in front of me and held out her freshly bitten arm. "Suck on it. It's gonna turn you but you'll live." I did as…

A risk is taking a chance on what one is not used to doing. Sometimes people might take a risk depending on what it is. The NASA crew took a big risk when launching the Challenger during extreme temperatures. The astronauts were taking one of the biggest risk of their lives. This risk could have taken a positive or a negative affect. In this case it took a negative effect, lets see how. January 28,1986 the Challenger was ready for lift-off. This mission was delayed for six days because of bad…

The lack of effort to sustain critical change at NASA would result in another disaster where key safety of flight information was again ignored, resulting the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster (Palmer Dunford & Akin, 2009). This paper will review and analyze change at NASA to include images of change, types of change, challenges of change, resistance to change, implementing change, visions of change, and sustaining change as…
