It was 1986, I believe.  I had just gotten into Kate at the time and I
was a freshman (second semester) in college.  HOL had already been out
for a while at that point, so there's no way it's directly referencing
that explosion.  However, to the person who orignally brought up the
shuttle idea, your theory about a shuttle crashing (a fictionalized one,
for example) is not weird in my book:-)
