!!This film provides examples of the following tropes:
* ForegoneConclusion: It's fairly well-known that ''Challenger''[='s=] final flight would end in its destruction just over a minute after launch, killing all onboard. The film ends just as the shuttle takes off, following a symbolic scene of the crew reciting John Gillespie Magee, Jr.'s poem "High Flight", parts of which were used in President [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Reagan]]'s eulogy for the crew the night after the disaster.
* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: The real Christa [=McAuliffe=], while certainly not unattractive by any means, wasn't quite as photogenic as Karen Allen, lacking the latter's [[WhatBeautifulEyes distinctive eyes]].
* IgnoredExpert: Thiokol engineer Roger Boisjoly attempts to warn NASA management about the dangers of launching at sub-zero temperatures due to the possibility of the O-rings failing, but his concerns on the matter are repeatedly brushed aside as irrelevant.
