  "description": "I grew up after the Challenger tragedy occurred and — as such — didn't have a personal connection or framing for the disaster. Higginbotham does an outstanding job crafting a narrative, humanizing the victims of the disaster and ruthlessly layout out the evidence. The aspirations embodied in the space shuttle program and its astronauts were admirable but the pace, willful disregard for highlighted safety concerns and a demonstrably unsafe focus on the pace with which the program was pushed led to disaster (and who knows how many others were barely avoided).",
