This paper analyzes Chapters 6 and 7 of the "Columbia Accident Investigation Board Report". Specifically, it discusses the
issues that surfaceed about NASA and its
organization and answers the question: If you were designing a new organization to change the core processes what would be your priorities for change? It examines how the National Air and Space Agency (NASA) ultimately is a
business organization, just like any other, and how it faces the same funding issues, internal power struggles, and management concerns that any other business faces.
