Just watched a show on the Columbis disaster, and a question came to me. Why does the shuttle have to be travelling so fast to re-enter the atmosphere? Think of it this way. The shuttle isn't moving fast, its landing on a fast moving object. Landing on the earth is like a carrier landing, the earth is spinning around and the shuttle has to match to it. -Robert

It has been discussed to death on sci.physics, sci.space.policy, sci.space.shuttle and for some strange reason soc.culture.zimbabwe, though a lot of it is babbling drool by Brad Guth and associates. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply.
