Hey everyone, been reading up a lot into our space escapades with the recent spotlight on SpaceX and was curious as to how the U.S. space program would have been affected without the Challenger disaster.

Assuming the O-ring doesn't fail after takeoff and January 28th, 1986 sees only another routine shuttle launch, what could we expect to see mission-wise from NASA now that it has another 3 years of uninterrupted launches to work with and no loss in confidence? Is there a better chance of making Space Station Freedom a reality, or is a different shuttle disaster inevitable?
