What are the major conflicts of the movie and are these conflicts resolved satisfactorily at the end? Would you characterize the ending of the film as happy‚ sad‚ or somewhere in between?

Challenger Space Shuttle Risk Assessment (Extra Credit) The multiple failures that led the disastrous events on the 28th of January‚ 1986 were inexcusable. The reason the Challenger Space Shuttle blew up 73 seconds after launch was the result of a faulty sealing system which allowed exhaust flames from the Solid-Fuel Rocket Boosters (SRB) to vent directly on the external tank‚ rupturing the tank and causing the explosion. There was excessive erosion on the O-ring in the booster field joints
