Where is the space shuttle going to land?
Space shuttle landings are always planned to occur at the Kennedy Space Center. There are alternative landing sites in readiness as poor weather can prevent the shuttle landing in Florida. Edwards Airforce Base in California is the second choice and is sometimes used. The use of the Edwards facility was discontinued after the new strip was built at the Kennedy faclity. Landings at Edwards required that the shuttle be lifted up, strapped to the back of a specially modified 747, flown to Kennedy, and then offloaded. It was cheaper in the long run to just build the lengthy stip at Kennedy.
