I did some other researching had found a documentary that told of the “truth” about Scientology, called Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief. In the documentary it talks about how L. Ron Hubbard lied about his “injuries” from World War 2, and other accounts in his life. It also went on and had past members of the church talk about the bad parts of it.

In the cases of the Challenger and the Columbia tragedies, organizational failures played a vital role. For the Challenger, there had been a teleconference between the engineers from Morton Thiokol (the company that designed the O-rings that cased the Challenger to explode), the Kennedy Space Center and the Marshall Space Flight Center.
