It said that the movie was the victim of bad luck and bad timing: it was originally scheduled for release around the same time the real-life Challenger space shuttle exploded shortly after takeoff in early 1986. Some of the cast members were interviewed on the show, and they expressed their regret over the real-life tragedy. They seemed concerned that people might think it would be in very bad taste to show a movie like this during a time of tragedy and mourning. And they talked about how the movie was delayed for about six or seven months.
