The series does an excellent job of setting up the mission and detailing early on the foam strike event that we would all come to understand as the cause.
It also does an excellent job of giving the families of the astronauts an opportunity to tell us what they went through and where they ended up from an emotional standpoint.
I rated it a 9 for two reasons: one negative and one positive. The negative reason it has a nine instead of a 10 is because they could have delved further into the poor decisions from management and the culture that helped create those decisions. Where did that culture come from? If that culture has changed, how has this been accomplished? I think they let certain individuals go without the scrutiny their decisions deserve.
However it does earn the 9 because it explores the human side of the families of the astronauts as well as the people at NASA who tried to shed light on the situation. The people who were interviewed from NASA all stated they shared in the responsibility and that's a heavy burden not only to bear but to publicly accept.
Regarding the families, Mrs Husband in particular is a tremendous example of understanding your life is different while understanding that you must keep going and look for joy. This is what I was left with at the end. The wisdom that almost only comes from pain.
