Photos in the loser´s cafe

On the walls of the cafetery there were some photos about tragedies and failures. There was a photo a the Hubble, I don´t think it was a failure? why not the Challenger. I can recal there was also the Hindumburg photograpg so why not the Challenger (I know it was a failure and a tragedy just as the Hindemburg). Also I don´t think that the Edsel was a failure, how abouth the Ford Pinto, the Pacer o the ugly Amc´s Gremlin. They could had include the Chrysler Airflow (I think it was a bigest flop than the Edsel). Also, instead of the photo of Dukakis, there should be Nixon or probably Jimmy Carter photo as other famouse presidential failures.

i know this is over a year later, but dukakis worked because he was still relevent at the time and the difference between him and nixon was that he never even won the election. Also the challenger happened only 4 to 5 years prior to this movie the gag would not have been that funny since it was recent.

The Hubble telescope was a failure at first because of a defective lens (or mirror, I think it was a mirror actually). They did manage to eventually fix it however, but at the time the movie was released it was an expensive blunder.
