Both space shuttle failures were caused by the ozone hole.

They changed the type of outside insulation so that it contained no CFC's or HFC's. The new insulation proceeded to fall off in big chunks, at the wrong time.

They changed the type of outside insulation so that it contained no CFC’s or HFC’s. The new insulation proceeded to fall off in big chunks, at the wrong time.

So in reality, the ozone hole didn’t cause the failure,
excessive environmental concern caused the failures.
