This is rare amateur video of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. The video was shot about 70 miles from Cape Canaveral on a Florida man's Betamax camcorder. The man turned the video in to an educational organization right before he died. NASA was not aware of this video before the man publicly released his historical account of the space program's darkest hour. On a chilly January morning 24 years ago, Corydon optometrist Jack Moss raised his new video camera to the sky over central Florida and captured one of the darkest moments in American space exploration the explosion of the shuttle Challenger. In the videotape, a stream of white smoke behind the climbing shuttle shoots into view but Moss, his wife and a neighbor noticed immediately that More..something was amiss when the channel separated into two streams. Thats trouble of some kind, Moss can be heard saying. That didnt look right. Moments later, someone is heard telling Moss that the Challenger had blown up. - Louisville Courier Journal
