Over the years, NASA has seen its share of mistakes and blunders. The A&E film looks at some of the costly errors, including the tragic Challenger catastrophe. A series of interviews with astronauts, former NASA officials, and politicians reveal information about problems that have existed for many years, but were overlooked due to the highly publicized successes. Engineering, scientific, and safety concerns have been sacrificed for political gains, according to the commentators. A high-profile example was the Hubble telescope, which was launched and found to be badly flawed.
