“There’s nothing of value to retrieve anyway, after being blown up by an AIM-9X Sidewinder, then plummeting 65,000 feet and slamming into the ocean surface.”
They recovered enough of the Challenger orbiter to pretty much reconstruct it.

China already has anything of value from it. Probably downloaded from the Google cloud.

They recovered enough of the Challenger orbiter to pretty much reconstruct it. Physical evidence from a 165,000 lb (when empty) Space Shuttle and two 185,000 lb (empty) SRBs is very different from finding a memory chip from a 2,000 lb (including solar array and batteries) spy package.
And Challenger exploded at 46,000 ft.
