"Challenger" Netflix [View all]
Watched this on Netflix last night. Been avoiding it for awhile because I knew the tragic conclusion as to how this ended. I remember the numbness of hearing the news and watching the sad end of this Shuttle. I also followed the federal investigation and knew that the O-Rings on the fuel tanks were the ultimate reason for the failure. Still, it was heart wrenching to revisit the documentary and seeing the films of all of the astronauts and their families leading up to and during the launch. Equally heart wrenching were the engineers at NASA and Morton Thiokol who made the "go" call on the evening before the launch. Clearly, everyone of these people had to live with their consciences and self-doubts to the end of their lives.
A real tough watch, but something I think everyone should see.
