The only book on this list I’ve read was Challenger, and it was very, very good.

The way the author wrote it with so much detail. It had me still hoping someone would stop the crew before they launched. First time I’ve cried while reading a non fiction.

He also wrote *Midnight in Chernobyl* which is pretty good. I had a hard time tracking the characters and timelines since each section reverts to different points in the past.
Would you say Challenger focuses more on a main set of characters, or is it more of an overview of "Here's what technically went wrong and how the underlying system enabled the accident."
