There was some problem with this message before, I will will
repost.  The shuttle has emergency landing sites in Dakar,
Senegal (primary abort landing during first phase of launch),
Rota, Spain (former primary abort site), EAFB (primary abort
after one orbit site), White Sands Missile Base (secondary
abort after one orbit site), and a site in Japan.  In the
unlikely event that all of these are stricken by bad weather
at once, the shuttle can land at any airport with a 15,000
foot runway (Orlando, most all of your international airports,
military airports, etc.)  So a place to land will never be
a problem.
