Learning experience?
Seems NASA doesn't learn from experience or want to.
Recall the Challenger? The supplier said "Don't Launch". NASA managers said"We can't afford not to launch".
We know what happened next. At the enquiry NASA managers desperately tried to hide the truth and blame the supplier.
Then Columbia. Similar scenario.
In this case the supplier has had to pay only a small fraction of the losses incurred despite pleading guilty, does that provoke any curiosity?
