Ed,
You may want to read the book   No Downlink: A Dramatic Narrative About
the Challenger Accident and Our Time,   by Claus Jensen and Barbara
Haveland.  Political considerations were behind many of the (in
hindsight) questionable/stupid design and operational decisions that led
to the Challenger debacle.
