Found and not found on Wikipedia, the Ferris Bueller movie and the space shuttle

In the trailer for the movie, and in the film, Ferris mentions "he'll be the first youth from Chicago to travel in the space shuttle", or "I'm the first Chicago area youth to be selected to participate in a space shuttle mission.", something removed due to the Challenger disaster occurring right before the trailer came out.  I find this an interesting factoid.

The shuttle issue is actually on Wikipedia, but it was deleted from the article.  So it is not on Wikipeda!

This was 2010, and nobody has tried to add it back to the article.
