Larry Wall asks, in part:

    And where can the Shuttle land (besides Easter Island, thank you
    Mr. Stine/Correy) if it poops out partway up to a polar or sun-synch orbit?

The basic answer is:  "in the ocean, far from help".  The eastern
Pacific is very, very wet.  Easter Island sits in the middle of many
millions of square kilometers of empty ocean.
