Last night on the news, they said that the shuttle used 2/3 of the paved
runway before coming to a complete stop.  How long is the runway?

Evidently Nasa would like a crosswind landing as soon as possible.  Is this
to test out the craft's airworthiness??

Also, will this newsgroup be named net.columbia forever, even though
Columbia will not fly for another year?  How about net.shuttle?
