- TriviaWhile the Challenger crew were the first to die during a mission, they were not the first NASA crew to be killed. The three-man crew of Apollo 204 (aka, Apollo 1), Gus Grissom, Roger B. Chaffee and Edward H. White II were killed in a fire in their capsule during a launch practice run on the launch pad on January 27, 1967. The docuseries makes no mention of this earlier fatality (what the NASA engineer said was that no NASA astronaut had been "killed on their way to space" to fit the narrative of the Challenger deaths, so it was a matter of semantics).
Featured review
I have spent much of my adult life avoiding thinking about this tragedy. It is a case study on how an organization can become wicked and its members essentially the epitome of evil.
For me it was just horribly sad to watch this and there is a prevalent sense of horror as events move toward the inevitable ending.
What made it worth watching for me was to learn about Feynman's role. I knew the outline of it but not the specifics. It's quite amazing.
What astonishes me is there are these awful, old, gross NASA administrators who are still totally unrepentant, although they are clearly and obviously to blame for what happened.
