The investigation of the disaster

NASA senior Bob Cavanagh assesses in an interview with the science website: the Columbia disaster could have been avoided if the lessons of the Challenger had been learned and the warnings had been heeded

The deputy director of NASA added, "It is important that we create an environment where people feel free to speak." The interview took place during the 18th Ilan Ramon Space Conference in Tel Aviv.

"Even if the chance was low, an attempt should have been made to save the members of the Columbia team"
