NASA Delays Shuttle Launching
Ok so, I realize I'm probably not the person that you go to for the latest NASA updates.......But I'm taking a Graduate course in Project Management and I've been assigned to a case study that just so happens to be discussing the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster of 2003. If you don't know what happened, don't worry, neither did I. My primary interests have never really focused on space related material. (And I suppose I wasn't exactly an avid news fan in grade 10...) Anyways, all things aside, I found this article in the New York Times today and thought it was pretty interesting.... considering.
Essentially, the Discovery shuttle, which has already been delayed three times this year, was grounded again on Friday due to a dangerous hydrogen gas leak. Thankfully this time, Program and Project Managers decided to address the potentially fatal problem and will not attempt to launch again until all issues are throughly investigated.
