One congressman wanted to send NASA leaders to prison, but Vaughan argued that it was more important to fix the institution than to punish officials.
Unless the organizational problems that led to the disaster got fixed, she maintained, a new team of leaders would "Experience the same pressures and the harmful outcomes will repeat."
Yes, political leaders who fail to protect us from pandemics can't complain if voters decide to kick them out of office.
Within weeks, the New York metro area would lead the world in Covid-19 cases per capita.
On the plus side, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer began calling for emergency pandemic funding as early as January 26.
At a time when China and the World Health Organization were downplaying the coronavirus threat, it was easy for world leaders to believe that everything was under control.
