She ran around the house trying to find something to hide under. But she never knew whether the monster was in that room or not. “Will you get up already?”…

When the decision was made to proceed with the launch in the Challenger Shuttle case, the flight crew was not aware of the risk they were taking. In the Ford Pinto case, It is the…

What could have been the purpose of a Ronald W. Reagan’s speech after a catastrophic incident?

At this point people, may not see the ridiculous amount of calculus I will use in the future, but in fact I will be using it daily. Whether it be…

The Challenger space shuttle was scheduled to embark on its 10th mission on January 28, 1986. It was a project coordinated by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and Morton Thiokol, Inc. (MTI). The later company was concerned with the engineering of the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs), which facilitated the space shuttle’s lift off. The SRBs contained a U-joint that required O-rings to seal pressure gaps caused by ignition in the boosters (Diane Vaughan, 1989, p. 330). The…
