What The Challenger Disaster Is About
A television production. On 28 January 1986 the space shuttle Challenger broke apart seventy-three seconds after launch, killing seven astronauts, among them Christa McAuliffe, who would have been the first teacher in space. Inside the commission set up afterwards, institutional interests make finding the truth almost impossible. The film follows the physicist Richard Feynman's persistence on that commission; his simple demonstration with an O-ring dropped into iced water put the cause in front of the public. Not a disaster film but a story about institutions protecting themselves.
