The true story behind the tragic undoing of the Challenger Space Shuttle, through the eyes of the engineers who designed it.
While all archival footage is authentic, the voice of the film is a fictional character. Based on interviews with the real engineers who attempted to halt the launch.
The short film aims to place you in the perspective of an engineer of the rocket, and reveal what may have been going through their mind as the tragedy became realized.
