has been responsible for major failures both in corporate world and in government (p. 35-36). For example, groupthink occurred in the Challenger tragedy from management and engineer’s agreement of the dangers as tolerable hazards (Riggio et al., 2008). In these situations, the amount of pressure on a popular launch of a space shuttle into outer space coupled with the success of NASA is hard position for a…

United States to the lunar mission of getting a man on the moon by 1970. Even though President Kennedy was assassinated and did not get to witness the event, the mission of the Apollo 11 attained his dream.

big milestone for man’s journey of exploring space as millions watched on the television. But as millions watched on the television, the rise of a new question became to spring up. People began discussing if the NASA program was worth it. They began to talk about the downsides of traveling to space like the cost and the safety issues. One can say that space travel is not even worth doing because of things like the time and cost it takes to carry out a space mission. Others can say it is worth…

lead to engineering disaster. For some engineers who hold the speed as the highest goal, they had left several sever disasters caused by flaws in their engineering design; from their unforgettable experience, engineers put more thought in to the design before crews start construction. For example, engineering students can learn from some well-known catastrophes involved Tacoma Bridge’s collapse, Space Shuttle Challenger explosion disaster, and the most well-known nuclear disaster, the Chernobyl…

conflicts in the work place. The topic about decision-making process is also important to me. The major takeaway from the topic is recognizing the pitfalls occurred in the decision-making process. During the lecture, the tragedy explosion of Space Shuttle Challenger is used to tell how over-optimism and groupthink caused by intangible pressure would lead to a major…

Victoria Philips states, one in six fatal car crashes and over 200000 workplace accidents a year can be attributed to poor sleep. Some of the worst disasters of the 20th century could have been prevented had those individuals had a good night’s sleep. When the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Alaska and spilled more than 10 million gallons of crude oil into the Prince William Sound, the investigation determined…

more NASA budget cuts and a rise in private contractors looking to space. The budget cuts may even be costing the US more than its saving them. A writer from the washington post says “Since the shuttle 's retirement, the United States has been forced to rely on Russia to take its astronauts to the station, an expensive and troubling arrangement that now costs $76 million per seat” (Davenport). There are multiple astronauts on the space station with multiple launches a year, the price of using…
