"How ambition and bureaucracy quietly killed seven people"
This four-part documentary revisits the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, tracing NASA's ambitious teacher-in-space program alongside the engineering warnings that went unheeded before launch.

It's less about spectacle than accountability, a quiet, angry portrait of institutional pressure overriding caution.
the engineers who tried to stop the launch and were overruled anyway.
you want a fast-paced watch rather than a slow, grief-heavy institutional autopsy.
