Reasonably interesting and thorough account of management mishaps and political
shenanigans at NASA leading up to the Challenger disaster. Gets a bit bogged in
people and budgets, but I've no reason to dispute the account. Sad tale of a noble
human endeavor that went awry due to dissembling by politicians and bureaucrats. (
