Ethical Issues in the Challenger Launch by edumaceren is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Pressure to maintain schedules led NASA to take risks by launching the Challenger despite safety concerns about the O-rings and unusually cold temperatures. Engineers at NASA contractor Thiokol may have also felt pressure to approve the launch to keep their contract. Additionally, the flight crew may not have been fully informed of the risks and issues to give true informed consent.
