Many still vividly remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard about the tragedy. In The Challenger Launch Decision , Diane Vaughan recreates the steps leading up to that fateful decision, contradicting conventional interpretations to prove that what occurred at NASA was not skullduggery or misconduct but a disastrous mistake.
