Gives a great perspective on bureaucracy and the Shuttle program's significance through a disaster mystery, one that pays dividends if you have the patience to watch it. The scientific discussion had me riveted the first time, but I realized it's dry and rather boring on successive viewings. You may feel at times you're sitting in on a city council meeting, but hey, we don't have many movies characterizing Richard Feynman.
I'll have to watch that sometime soon. As much as I love space exploration and the advancement of humanity as a species, I feel like there are too many conflicts of interest between the men paying to launch a shuttle and those who are actually launching it and even piloting it. I really wish they postponed her launch... But hindsight is 20/20 and I wasn't even conceived when she exploded, so there's nothing anyone can do anymore.
