I know that this was probably discussed before but I'm new and haven't seen it. Why doesn't the shuttle land using the runway at Kennedy Space Center? I have only seen one landing there. I had read that NASA was afraid to use it due to problems with the brakes, but I think that they have been improved. It certainly would improve turn-around time, and cut costs. Please respond either E-mail or posting. Thank-you. Nicholas C. Hester ia80024@Maine.Bitnet ia80024@Maine.Maine.edu
