I was watching a Nova last night about Easter Island.  They
mentioned that Easter Island is an emergency landing strip
for west-coast shuttle landings.

Do they fly out people for each landing?  Stockpile emergency
gear?

Or could the astronauts land there and have to let themselves out,
just bum around until NASA sends out a plane?

Just curious,
Evan
