Beschreibung

The Challenger examines the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, exploring the technical and organizational failures that led to the tragic loss of seven astronauts. It meticulously dissects the events surrounding the STS-51-L mission, the history of the Space Shuttle program, and the political climate that shaped NASA's ambitious goals during the Cold War space race. A key focus is the O-ring failure in the solid rocket boosters and how this malfunction triggered the explosion. The book emphasizes the crucial role of independent oversight and prioritizing safety, even amidst intense public expectations and budgetary constraints.

 
The book scrutinizes the Rogers Commission Report, the official investigation into the accident, revealing the culture of risk-taking and organizational failures within NASA. Through interviews and firsthand accounts, it exposes the suppression of dissenting opinions and the pressure to maintain launch schedules. It delves into the ethical implications of decisions made, questioning the balance between scientific progress and human safety. The Challenger progresses chronologically, starting with the program's planning stages and culminating in the disaster's aftermath, including its long-term impact on NASA's culture and safety protocols.

Cryptography

Panos Louridas

We all keep secrets—from our locker codes to our passwords to our online interactions. And we choose to share those secrets only with those whom we trust. So, too, do organizations, businesses, governments, and armies. In Cryptography, Panos Louridas provides a broad and accessible introduction to cryptography, the art and science of keeping and revealing secrets. Louridas explains just how cryptography works to keep our communications confidential, tracing it back all the way to its ancient roots. Then he follows its long and winding path to where we are today and reads the signs that point to where it may go tomorrow. 
 
 
 
A few years back, interest in cryptography was restricted to specialists. Today, as we all live our lives attuned to our digital footprint and the privacy issues it entails, it becomes more and more essential to have a basic understanding of cryptography and its applications to everyday life. Starting with classical cryptography, Cryptography takes the listener all the way up to the twenty-first century cryptographic applications that underpin our lives in the digital realm. Along the way, Louridas also explains concepts such as symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, cryptographic protocols and applications, and finally, quantum and post-Quantum cryptography as well as the links between cryptography and computer security.
