you can make anything funny if you're witty. Its not that the video isn't funny, its that the challenger is a pretty big leap in terms of tragedies we're culturally jovial to laugh about. For a few reasons, one big one being that there weren't a large number of victims so we're more likely to be aware of the specifics of it, like how there was a teacher whose class was watching.

Dark Humor doesn't apply when a tragedy impacted a potential American Folk Hero before she got a chance to shine. Remember Stalin's line about 1 death being a tragedy and 1 million deaths being a statistic. Christa McAuliffe's death is a tragedy that stay lays upon the hearts of any 80s American kid who witnessed the tragedy live in their classrooms when they believed they were about to witness the opening episode of a magical journey with the best teacher ever while she traversed space.

I know its not quite a 1:1 with the Challenger but do you think a HoloJP talent could get away with making a reference or joke about the 1990s Sarin Gas attacks on Japanese Subways?

Nope, it was a criticism of American hubris, one of the party members literally let's his wife burn up insisting that the rocket will launch, instead killing her and all the crew except for him. Btw his characterization was

>Chain smoker
>Employer is a rich lard-eating tea drinker
>White red and blue outfit design
>Excessive sweating along with the other America caricature: a black guy themed after Mr.T
>Top it all off he's an engineer but everything he works on breaks at some point in the story, all the endgame stuff is from Japanese allegory companies

Just watch the minute and a half.

>The disaster was caused by the failure of the two redundant O-ring seals in a joint in the shuttle's right solid rocket booster (SRB). The record-low temperatures of the launch reduced the elasticity of the rubber O-rings, reducing their ability to seal the joints. The broken seals caused a breach into the joint shortly after liftoff, which allowed pressurized gas from within the SRB to leak and burn through the wall to the adjacent external fuel tank. This led to the separation of the right-hand SRB's aft attachment, which caused it to crash into the external tank, which caused a structural failure of the external tank and an explosion. Following the explosion, the orbiter, which included the crew compartment, was broken up by aerodynamic forces.

>The crew compartment and many other fragments from the shuttle were recovered from the ocean floor after a three-month search-and-recovery operation. The exact timing of the deaths of the crew is unknown but several crew members are thought to have survived the initial breakup of the spacecraft. By design, the orbiter had no escape system, and the impact of the crew compartment at terminal velocity with the ocean surface was considered too violent to be survivable.

>The disaster resulted in a 32-month hiatus in the Space Shuttle program. President Ronald Reagan created the Rogers Commission to investigate the accident. The commission criticized NASA's organizational culture and decision-making processes that had contributed to the accident. Test data since 1977 had revealed a potentially catastrophic flaw in the SRBs' O-rings. Neither NASA, nor Morton Thiokol (the SRB manufacturer), addressed the issue. NASA managers also disregarded engineers' warnings about the dangers of launching in cold temperatures and did not report these technical concerns to their superiors.

Fans of Star Trek asked US President Gerald Ford, through a letter-writing campaign, to name the orbiter after the television show's fictional starship, USS Enterprise. White House advisors cited "hundreds of thousands of letters" from Trekkies, "one of the most dedicated constituencies in the country", as a reason for giving the shuttle the name. Although Ford did not publicly mention the campaign, the president said that he was "partial to the name" Enterprise, and directed NASA officials to change the name.

Okay that is pretty wild. The fictional name of the 'USS Enterprise' on the show in the first place was inspired by the real tradition of having a 'USS Enterprise' in the US navy, and then the fictional tradition became so big it turned around and became real again twice over.
