The goal is to try to reconstruct what's left of Columbia, and establish a sequence of how each part peeled off during the shuttle's ill-fated journey home.

Clearly the further west parts are found, the more key they could be in determining the cause of the disaster...since these parts would have come off the shuttle first.

Did anyone see that video that (I'M sure you's all seen) when the camera gets a close-up of the shuttle on reentry just before the contrail starts and then the camera zooms back?

Anyway, when the camera zooms in at first it looks like the shuttle is going sideways with the rear of the shuttle facing camera and the left wing facing the direction of travel!

Hope someone on freerepublic can run across that video and post the beginning frames of that video to make sure I'M not seeing things!

It's extremely interesting to know that the nose cone was found that far EAST...doesn't paint a pretty picture of the last 5 minutes at.

Too bad NASA doesn't have high definition cameras strategically plaed so as to take high quality photos of the re-entry of all shuttle flights.
