John Warren Goerger THE 'SPACE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM' had an EXCELLENT RECORD.
The two failures weren't something inherent with the design or operations of the Space Shuttles but rather, a very Screwed Up NASA / Shuttle Management!!!!
BIGGS who was working with Space Transportation in developing the beginning of a quasi-private ownership of at least 1 Space Shuttle for ~$1.5 Billion (1981 dollar 'buying power) & SpaceTrans would do all the "Marketing" of the; SPACE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM was exactly what President Ronald Reagan was advocating; the eventual privatization, initially 50% & eventually 90% of long term Human activity in space---lunar & asteriod mining, human settlements there & O'Neill Space Settlements, while NASA would be focused mainly on purely scientific investigations of the Solar System & Astronomy in general.
Biggs informed President Reagan 6 names of men NOT to be charge of NASA because anyone of those six men would destroy the Civilian Space Program and especially the Space Shuttle Program.
Reagan, for some reasons didn't listen to Biggs, hired one of the "six" to oversee NASA & that person was the 'Acting Director' of NASA when the Challenger was loss..
Loss not because of some inherent flaw in the design / engineering but BECAUSE OF INEPT MANAGEMENT!!!
The same goes for the tragic and preventable loss of Columbia Shuttle & Crew!!!
