There is a group in Ca. which is either private or state sponsored called
the Ca. Space Institute (I think, can anybody provide more info?) which
is examining low cost missions such as reusing external tanks.  One of the
conclusions they came to was that it takes more fuel to manuver so that the
tank ditches in the right place than it would take to carry it into orbit.
