Also. many manufacturers seem to be overloading the function of those back-up lights as "illuminate the area around the car just after the engine has been turned off or the doors have been unlocked remotely lights". I can't count the number of times I've stopped to prevent a car from backing out of a parking space into me... only to realize that the car's driver is fifty feet away and the lights just haven't gone off yet.

Dying Man Shares Unseen Challenger Video 266

longacre writes "An amateur video of the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger explosion has been made public for the first time. The Florida man who filmed it from his front yard on his new Betamax camcorder turned the tape over to an educational organization a week before he died this past December. The Space Exploration Archive has since published the video into the public domain in time for the 24th anniversary of the catastrophe. Despite being shot from about 70 miles from Cape Canaveral, the shuttle and the explosion can be seen quite clearly. It is unclear why he never shared the footage with NASA or the media. NASA officials say they were not aware of the video, but are interested in examining it now that it has been made available."
