Why hasn't there big a big budget movie about the Challenger explosion?

The cheap Les Miles movie doesn't count. This seems like a story full of drama that could be Oscar bait with the right actress in the lead.

Old tasteless joke we told after the Challenger:
Why do they have Sprite at NASA?
Because they couldn't get 7 up

How would a movie be made on it? Liftoff and explosion?

Because of the big budget

in this day and age? there isn't enough white people to blame for it so Hollywood won't touch it.

Let Marvel make a Challenger comic book and Hollywood will be on it Like a duck on a June bug.

Wasn't there a movie made about the Rogers Commission and the Challenger disaster?
If I'm misremembering the whole deal, read Richard Feynman's last book. It's very interesting, but not funny.

Well technically, it was probably all white people to blame on this one.

I go for the feel good ending, you know... where the crew survived in a capsule and parachuted safely to ground, except, OOPS! There is no feel good ending. Yeah, let's do that. Let's make a movie that already starts with a story that sucks. Everybody dies.
Stupid idea.

Wait a minute. Hollywood just finished telling me that a bunch of black women were responsible for the success of NASA.

I still can’t believe they haven’t made a Mark Walburg Hurricane Katrina movie.

I feel like Columbia would be hotter at the box office.

Sounds like it would be a Challenging pitch.

If you're going to point fingers and assign blame, you are going to get ZERO cooperation from NASA.

Pretty sure it was those 4 HBCU graduates with undergrad degrees that did the real "figuring" at NAASA that were responsible.

There was some mismanagement and overlooking of potential problems (wouldn’t go as far as to call it a “cover-up”) that led to the disaster. I don’t remember the exact details, but something about concerns with O-rings that were ignored.
I’d assume a movie would be a dramatized (and likely sensationalized) version of those events leading up to the explosion, along with melo-drama story arcs centering on Christine McAuliffe and the other astronauts.

Actually what they did helped lead to the solving of the Three Body Problem which made a lot of NASA's early missions possible.
Of course now any reasonably intelligent person could do Three Body analysis on their smartphone.
