    Fixes backwards chronology: Challenger (Jan 1986) occurred before, not after, Chernobyl (April 1986)

    Before

    Two months later, in January 1986, the night shift engineers who approved the Challenger space shuttle launch...

    After

    About three months earlier, in January 1986, the night shift engineers who approved the Challenger space shuttle launch...

    Why: Verified the fix is live in the article body: the chronology now correctly states Challenger (January 1986) occurred about three months before Chernobyl (April 1986), rather than two months after. No stale occurrence found in the FAQ. Backfilling record with confirmed correct text; no further edits needed.
