A Quik Note relating to the Space Shuttle you've mentioned.

Has to do with Flight Emergencies if not specific Survival.

Its that they have several Emergency Shuttle Landing Strips around the World, -such as the one in Senegal. They've never had to use one yet.

Must be quite a Quiet, Lonely Job, -for the Folks Manning (or Womaning) such Sites! Probably a Skeleton Crew.

But Chances reasonably well exist, -that someday out of the Blue, -one *will* have to be used. Then those Folks at this Ever Ready will Kick into Gear, -and do I'm Sure a Magnificent Job! For once getting their "Moment in the Sun"! I more than a few times, -Think of these and other such Folks!

Of course the Shuttle can Land on many typical, Major Airport / AFB Runways as well round our World, -in any such Emergency. [color:"black"] [/color] [email]ScottRezaLogan[/email]
