Three astronauts were incinerated alive. That was when they started to take safety more seriously. Subsequent accidents have only reinforced this.

Yes, but what happened after the astronauts died as a response?
The entire point of my comment is that funding cuts happened. That is the reaction.

Why doesn't the political environment allow for it. What could happen. What could regulatory bodies do to NASA for taking a risk and failing. What sort of constricting change could political bodies do in such a situation.
