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.
