    Join Lucien Graves as he dissects NASA's "Go Fever" — the institutional culture that normalized O-ring failures, waived safety constraints, and prioritized launch schedules over engineering warnings. Through analysis of pre-Challenger flights, internal memos predicting catastrophe, and systematic erosion of safety boundaries, this episode reveals how seven deaths resulted from knowledge without courage to act.
