Communication and the Challenger tragedy

Communication is fundamental in every aspect of life, from relationships to employments. Many disasters throughout history have been the result of incompetent communication. One of the saddest examples of this is the Challenger tragedy that occurred on January 28, 1986. A faulty O-ring ended the lives of seven brave men and women. Pressure from outside sources pushed the launching, and I am a firm believer that if the researches would have taken the news of the O-ring and announced it to the public, the seven heroes would be with us now, telling us what it is like to be in outer space.
