I read somewhere that Columbia was not capable of flying high enough to dock with the ISS due to some kind of technological impediment.

It was too heavy to dock with the ISS. They were afraid it might damage it.

Too heavy. In fact this was the heaviest reentry ever due to space hab. Heavier it is the more heat to slow it down.

Main wreckage is probably near Ft Polk, LA. Aircraft shutout there.

Where do you think it was for the past 16 days?
