Expand upon the above discussion in a 3 page double spaced, APA formated document, describing the specific aspects from the Challenger accident that helps us better understand the importance of effective data visualization.
Also, complete the following activity:
· Re-create at least 1 visual aid from Tufte’s article that you believe would better describe the dangers surrounding the launch.
