Pre-Columbia Criticism of NASA's Safety Culture in the late 1990's
From Greg Moo
Imagine a car company that does a study and determines that it is too
expensive to build a vehicle with airbags and even seatbelts, and that
the performance of that vehicle will be degraded by this safety
equipment. So they build it. And there is a long line of people who
still want to buy it and drive it. When those vehicles crash (and
they will crash) and their occupants take their final ride through the
front windshield, I can guarantee you that the NTSB would hold that
car company accountable for willful negligence.
History has proven you wrong.
I probably overreached with that verbiage of "...I can guarantee you
that the NTSB would...", but I expect you see the point I was making.
