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. On the other hand, NASA didn’t find out the mechanisms that caused the foam to shed off. Instead, they assumed that it was an installation mistake from Michoud Assembly Facility employees. 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
April 13, 1970 was the night the oxygen tank in Apollo 13 exploded, 55 hours, 55 minutes away from Earth. If Apollo 13 was any further away at the time of the incident, the astronauts most likely would’ve not survived. The issue was that the O2 tank was not designed properly by the manufacturer, and that when they conducted a stir of the O2 tank it exploded. Dunbar, Brian. " Apollo 13."
"(Johnson, 2018) Katherine had such a huge presence in space exploration for being a woman. She never stopped proving others wrong about her skills, consistency, and accuracy. With this project she not only proved she could successfully send astronauts into space, she now proved she could successfully get people out of space in emergency situations, too. Johnson's quick thinking, and bright mind helped fix a malfunction that could have costed
My father was in disbelief, no one ever thought something could have gone wrong because the launches were so
Knowing that the one problem can cause numerous others in the system, they’re forced to shut off the main power of the shuttle. After carefully aligning themselves, they’re able to land safely back on earth. The famous Apollo 13 Even though
Ronald Reagan Shuttle Crash Speech President Ronald Reagan speech to the American citizen expresses grief towards the Challenger shuttle disaster in 1986. Relating in Missouri, Despair and utter sadness with the American citizens in the victim's family and friends.

The NTSB then conducted an investigation using the Human Factor Analysis and Classification System. The investigation was split into finding the human factor issue within the flight 1420 starting from the organizational influences on that day, followed by unsafe supervisions, preexisting condition to the crews and also any unsafe acts that happened during the landing of the DC-9
Multi-Paragraph Essay On February 1, 2008, the Columbia Space Shuttle disintegrated while re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, resulting in the fatalities of all seven crew members. The families of these members, as well as all of America, were struck with anguish and heartbreak. With these feelings, the nation looked for a leader to guide them with understanding and authority.
Former President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, in his address to the nation about the Challenger explosion, distinguishes the terrifying news of the explosion of the space shuttle. Reagan's purpose is to remember the lives lost in this painful accident and to ensure that space program will keep our faith with its future in space. He adopts a sorrowful tone in order to acknowledge all the courage and breakers that those seven astronauts expressed to his nation. Reagan opens his tribute to the Challenger astronauts by recognizing that this accident delayed his State of the Union address and by showing the pain of him and his wife’s grief. He appeal to the emotions of the listeners by expressing that “today is a day for mourning and remembering” (Reagan, 1986), that he and his wife are “pained to the core” (Reagan, 1986), and that we all know that this accident is “truly a national loss” (Reagan, 1986).
Later that night President Ronald Reagan came on air to give the State of the Union address and talk on the tragedy that had just unfolded. Through this speech President Reagan consoles the families of those who lost their lives, the American schoolchildren, and the American public as a whole. He also gives this speech to reassure America of the viability of the NASA program and the light in the future. By the use of rhetorical skill, including analogy, strong emotional appeals, and his position of power, President Reagan manages to convince America that despite the tragedy the benefits of keeping a space exploration program greatly outweigh the losses.

1. Introduction In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil platform spit nearly five million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, making it the largest oil spill in history. The 1989 oil spill surpassed Exxon Valdez's oil spill in 1989 as the largest oil spill ever seen in US-controlled waters and the Ixtoc I oil spill of 1979 as the largest oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. On April 20, 2010, Deepwater Horizon, an ultra-deepwater offshore rig, exploded in the Gulf of Mexico about 41 miles off the coast of Louisiana, killing 11 riggers and injuring 17 others.

American Airlines Flight 587 Title: Aircraft Accident report: In-flight separation of vertical stabilizer of American Airlines flight 587, an Airbus Industrie A300-605R aircraft on November 12, 2011. Author of this paper are Nitin Jayant (2012CE10371) & Jitesh Kumar (2012CE10355). Abstract:
When reading the IAMFC Code of Ethics and AAMFT Code of Ethics I found that they compare significantly, much more than they contrast. Many of the principals coincide. For example, the topic of multiple relationships is one of the many principles that parallel in many codes of ethics. The IAMFC Code of Ethics encourages family counselors to “avoid whenever possible multiple relationships, such as business, social, or sexual contacts with any current clients or family members” (Section A). Similarly, the AAMFT Code of Ethics also requires that therapists “make every effort to avoid conditions and multiple relationships with clients that could impair professional judgment or increase the risk of exploitation.
