30-35 years ago I recall being taught about how we were in a historic 7 year drought.

Not sure but around same time I think I also had some school teacher astronaut come and give our school a speech before she went up.



Wow, uh... about 37 years ago, this happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_disas....

McAuliffe was to be the first teacher they sent to space, and they didn't try again until I think '98. Not sure if you realized that connection, but it was kind of surreal for me when it clicked that this is probably who you're talking about.


Was many years before I realized I had seen the crew before they blew up. Freaked me out when I did.
