The Challenger Disaster

In the days leading up to a major 1986 space shuttle launch, an engineer becomes convinced a critical seal could fail and tries to halt the mission. As pressure mounts from management and deadlines close in, the fight turns into a tense race against time between business priorities and human safety.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sobering, engineer-focused look at high-stakes decision-making and institutional pressure; Not for you if you need polished performances or a smooth timeline, like in The Astronaut Farmer.
