    That’s what I was thinking as well but I looked it up and the Challenger explosion was shortly before that.

    1986 was a strong news year for sure. I was 9 years old at the time.

    edit: actually, it was the Pershing II protests of 1983, which my family joined.

      While I too remember the Challenger explosion, that memory is much less clear in my mind and I wouldn’t have been able to tell that it happened before.
