The crosswinds test is merely to see how the shuttle, which
has no power on landing, handles when landing in crosswinds,
which prevail at the strip at KSC, where NASA would eventually
like to land shuttle missions.

As for net.columbia, we have been over this many times before,
and the consensus was not to change it but to stay with
net.columbia for reasons of sanity and to honor out first
space shuttle.
