The Challenger Space Shuttle explosion in 1986 was primarily attributed to a failure in the O-rings of the solid rocket boosters. The decision to launch in unusually cold temperatures, which compromised the O-rings' flexibility, was also a contributing factor. Ultimately, systemic issues within NASA's organizational culture and communication practices played a role in the disaster.
