I was reading about the ISS on wikipedia earlier and eventually ended up on the page which covers the space shuttle challenger disaster. The wiki page states that this happened in 1986.

I'll never forget watching news footage of the explosion on a TV that one of the teachers had rolled out into the hallway outside of his classroom. The thing is, I graduated from high school in 1983 so this could not be possible.

I certainly don't rule out the possibility of false memory syndrome, but the damn memories are just so real to me that it's hard to imagine that they could be false. I've been going over and over it in my head for the last few hours trying to come up with a reasonable explanation but in the end all I've managed is a headache.

I dunno, maybe I dreamed this after the fact and it somehow got filed away as an actual memory. All I know for sure is that if the Challenger blew up in 1986 then there is no way in hell that I was still in high school at the time. It's just so disorienting when your mind remembers one thing but the facts contradict it.

Anyhow, I'm sitting here, wondering if my head needs to be examined. At the risk of sounding like I'm off my rocker, has anyone else noticed any discrepancies in their recollection of the Challenger disaster?

A Memorial


The link above is a tribute site to the crew of Challenger STS - 51L.


Nobody is doubting that the records and the consensus reality says and was the challenger exploding in 1986. We don't need proof of things we know.

It's just that, now that he mentioned it... I remember it was in 1989...

I think something is going awry with the timeline and the consensus reality. This is basically the jest of this thread.

I got the jist. Wanted to provide definitive proof of the date. Also, the site is named Icarus Rising, so a little shameless self-promotion was thrown in free of charge.

Do you really think the timeline is in flux and taking our memories with it? Reminds me of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. The "thinnies" and all.
