Fire in the Sky by Jordin Kare (Cover)

This song by Jordin Kare appeared in the 1991 'Stave the Wails' songbook:

Jordin singing his own song on his album of the same name (track 12):

Possibly better known, is the version on the 1983 tape 'Minus Ten and Counting', sung by Doug Olsen:

There is a far rockier version by Kristoph Klover, released in 2004:
• Fire in the Sky
Note, Jordin wrote the original in 1983 (before the Challenger disaster in 1986), however the updated lyrics in 1991 include the challenger verse, so I assume he also wrote it? (Update: confirmed the new verse is Jordin’s, thanks Mark, Eli and others)
Thanks to ‪@drumdrumjimmmy‬ for requesting this one.

To answer the question, yes Jordan wrote the additional Challenger verse. You can here Jordan singing it on the Challenger Memorial tape.
