Subject: Challenger disaster 'foreseen' in a cartoon from 1985?
Written By: Jock on 12/01/12 at 7:58 am
"The Wrong Stuff" aired: October 5, 1985
The Littles find themselves accidentally sent into orbit on the space shuttle and Dinky is forced to return a computer chip he took as a souvenir to keep the shuttle from burning up on re-entry.
Now isn't that a weird coincidence, considering the Challenger disaster some months later in early 1986? ???

The Challenger didn't burn up on re-entry. It exploded before it left the atmosphere. Columbia burned up on re-entry in 2001.
It is weird, though.

I don't remember Challenger, but I do remember Columbia.
I agree with you that it is weird. ;\
This thread reminds me of the similarities between the Titanic disaster and novel Futility which was written in 1898 and had a ship named Titan which hit an iceburg and sunk. The lack of lifeboats was a theme in it as well.

That actually happened in 2003, but yeah, the whole thing is weird.
