Therefore, as NASA knew that the foam was falling off and causing damages, it should had corrected this fault and designed better thermal insulation, instead of misrepresenting that error by assuming that it is a normal phenomena.

NASA blamed them for the Columbia disaster and retrained them. However, in December 2005, x-ray photographs showed that thermal expansion and contraction during filling of the foam tank, caused cracks that led to foam shedding. So, it was not a human error rather than a design error. Although NASA apologized formally to them, they violated the code of ethics which states that “Engineers shouldn’t attempt to injure, falsely or maliciously the professional reputation, practice, prospects, or employment of other
