A good well acted drama but a little bit too neatly packaged to make it digestible for the viewing audience. The reveal at a press conference was exactly how it happened in real life. It all came down to 'O' rings and how they reacted in sub zero temperatures. In real life she was more outspoken about the deficiencies of NASA when it came to safety. Eve Best who plays Sally Ride was rather sidelined. Hurt portrays Feynman as dogged but he was also very ill at the time of the investigations.

The drama is based on the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster of 1986 and the Presidential commission set up to investigate the accident. Sales and operations planning (S&OP) is a popular process that aligns a company’s diverse functions while balancing supply and demand. This is a drama-documentary that has been co produced by the BBC and they managed to attract a starry cast with Oscar winner William Hurt playing distinguished scientist Feynman and Bruce Greenwood continuing his mini run of playing nice guys as General Kutyna. Matt and Brent believe that solution selling is no longer effective, and buyers are fed up with answering questions and probes from sales reps who deliver no.
