dittos. Was hoping some of us could go to the Sierras and have a Freeper posse on horseback scanning the mountains for shuttle debris. Only partly kidding...

Hey Pa... we're lookin' for parts from a spaceship..."

Hey NASA: Need an airborne posse to scan the orbiter ground track for debris in California/Nevada?

Get those astronomers to correlate their photos to the exact coordinates and you'll know where to send your posse.

LOL-

No doubt a few erstwhile amateur gumshoe detectives/shuttle junkies, are out beating the bushes in a case of what if. Or more likely, when people enjoy the outdoors now, they will have a heightened sense of awareness to their surroundings in an effort to discover debris.

NASA would do well to notify residents of the western states Columbia passed over, to begin an awareness program when in the outdoors. They could do the calculations and define areas of probability where objects are likely to be found. Have we reached this conclusion before NASA ?
