OK yes, you did start this topic a while ago, but I want to find about this story you've posted.

This post was in reaction to a "Today in Space History" entry on the homepage:

October 10, 1984: Shuttle Challenger suffers malfunctions after being 'shot' by the Soviet Terra-3 laser.

I recently had an in depth conversation with an astronaut, who was also an Air Force
Colonel.
He was an astronaut a few years after this. I was very surprised he'd never heard of it, and I must say I'm surprised I'd never heard of it ( I consider myself pretty well informed) until the posting last year.
Was it reported in the news media?

Is it agreed by all that this is a factual story?
