| ShortSummary = [[President of the United States|President]] [[Richard Nixon|Nixon]] authorizes the [[Space Shuttle]], a [[reusable spacecraft]] that will transform the space frontier. Following a positive campaign, [[NASA]] introduces a [[NASA Astronaut Group 8|diverse group of 35 astronaut candidates]]. Thousands witness [[Space Shuttle Columbia|''Columbia'']]'s [[STS-1|first launch]], the [[Apollo-Soyuz|first American spaceflight in six years]]. However, an ongoing problem with the [[Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster|solid rocket boosters]] threatens to derail the space program.

| ShortSummary = Following a nationwide search, [[Christa McAuliffe]] is named the [[Teacher in Space Project]] winner. An alarming amount of [[O-ring]] erosion is discovered in the solid rocket boosters, and when it continues, [[Thiokol|Morton Thiokol]] engineers feel it is not being effectively dealt with. However, NASA is under pressure due to a growing schedule, so a waiver is issued to keep the Space Shuttle flying.

| ShortSummary = [[STS-51-L]] is plagued with scrubbed launches due to unfavorable weather and equipment failures. NASA has a program assessment review to discuss what going down to below-freezing temperatures the night before will mean. During a teleconference, Thiokol engineers make a presentation, recommending to refrain from launching or doing so below 53 degrees. However, the SRB project manager is angry at what he considers an "irrational decision" and makes an intimidating comment that manipulates Thiokol into changing their minds. Cold overnight temperatures see icicles form on the service structure and lead to a two-hour delay so the shuttle stack can be inspected before [[Space Shuttle Challenger|''Challenger'']] is cleared for launch.

[[Nobel Prize]]-winning physicist [[Richard Feynman]] plays a crucial role in the probe, demonstrating on live television that O-rings lack resiliency at 32 degrees. The Rogers Commission returns its verdict of a "fatally flawed" decision-making process, stating NASA's attitude to blame.
