Why this is better

Verified live: all three corrections already present in body and bibliography - 'twenty-four previous successful launches', Moorhead et al. 1991 correctly limited to 'the Challenger disaster' only (no Columbia mention), and Esser 1998 correctly cited as 'Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes'. Checked FAQ (5 Q&A) and excerpt - no leftover fabrication found anywhere. Already fully correct, no further action needed.
