The loss of the space shuttle Columbia prompted an investigation to determine the factors that contributed to the accident. Essential to the investigation was collecting and analyzing data associated not only with the Columbia accident‚ but that of the 1987 loss of the space shuttle Challenger. Evidence from the investigation indicated that lessons learned from the Challenger were not necessarily applied to the shuttle program and may have been instrumental in the loss of the Columbia. It was determined

The Space Shuttle Program; Beginning of The Future We have made much progress on our knowledge about what is beyond our atmosphere. We have put a man on the moon and have educated our society about our universe. We have built an international space station that allows human beings to live outside our atmosphere for years‚ researching and studying so that we may understand Earth in a much better way. We have learned so much about our world‚ and a lot of it is thanks to the Space Shuttle Program

scheduling backlog pressures. Competition from the European Space Agency put NASA under pressure to come up with a space mission‚ which would hopefully shed light on the ability of NASA to plan commercialized space departures. NASA also had to prove that its program should continue to be funded; another unforeseen pressure pushing NASA to schedule its record number of Space exploration trips that year than in any other year. Also‚ the space shuttle mission scheduled before the Challenger had been delayed

taken by the mission control team when they found out a piece of insulating foam could damage the shuttle and cause 7 people to lose their lives. The previously achieved success led to overconfidence and a belief that no problem would bring down the mission. The upper echelon of management was only placed an emphasis on the launch rather than the safety of the astronaut’s or the quality of the shuttle. The engineers thought that the foam strike was very important and could cause a problem‚ but their

direction of the National Aeronautics Space Administration outlines a key issue within today’s society. In 2011‚ NASA decided‚ after much deliberation‚ to disband their space shuttle program. The reason related to the cost of maintenance and funding of the program. NASA currently focused on deep space exploration rather than more reasonable and cost effective trips to the International space station. However‚ commercialization of space travel and development of a space destination for tourists has the
