Admittedly, the inquest has found that actually this was the fault of the test engineers, who forgot to enable a power management system. But one thing that becomes patently obvious is that, as lithium-ion batteries become ubiquitous, there's a looming safety issue. NASA found that none of the personnel that tried to tackle the blaze knew how to fight the fire, and the proper safety equipment hadn't been installed. Now that you know that NASA is ill-equipped to deal with battery fires, imagine how well you'll do when that smartphone, tablet, laptop or hoverboard goes up in flames.
