With the Boeing capsule still undergoing "testing" and not going anywhere on its own---it is not the only distraction:
On June 29, 1971, a Soviet space mission ended in tragedy when three Russian cosmonauts were found dead inside their spacecraft after returning to Earth.
A Chinese rocket crashed into mountain after unexpected launch on Saturday.

Yeah, the Challenger disaster was a wake up call for Morton Thiocol and NASA. For whatever reason, a civilian death held much more sway than dead astronauts.
My Father In Law was one of the MT engineers who tried to stop the launch, but was overruled by his boss and NASA. It took a few years for him to get over it. But, the easy going style of his was replaced by cynicism.
