glad you guys are finding these pieces. I remember watching what happened that day on the tv, it kinda put a damper on my birthday later in february but I blew those seven candles out in memory of those astronauts.
@selearemus .. The man says: "Researchers around the country can request pieces for loan, and use those pieces to continue research for more stronger spacecraft for future operations. And also as an educational platform for students to learn about failure analysis, science engineering and physics in the upper atmosphere."
@7PallasAthena7 "It's comforting to know that NASA shares information in order to learn from mistakes." That is EXACTLY why I love NASA. Just as he said, use the debris to research and study so that they can prevent a "Columbia" from happening "out there". It pisses me off how people think space is over for Americans post Shuttle program. Uh...Hell to the NO it ain't over! The wait sucks I know, but it WILL be worth it because that's when the fun really begins!! :)

@CaptainGeek5 If You Recover More Of A Orbiter You Can Learn More About The Disaster.

@SexyLabyrinthsGirl That was a liquid hydrogen tank. It's not dangerous. He even stated that it was safe besides exposed steel.
but whats the use of recovering it???
Glad that's what it is. I would've hated to see the size of the spiders if that sphere turned out to be an egg sack. Kind of looks like one.
@geomodelrailroader 'think somewhere in the video he says they've only recovered 40% of the shuttle...
Strange how they have found similiar looking things in Russia, found on lake beds also.
That is not a gas tank. It's a weather balloon. LOL!
Nice clean up job NASA, eight years and counting.
@HannahAndAlena
Not weird.
SOMEONE has to have been born on that day.
That's your brother...
It's unconstitutional for anyone in the government to approve of my comment.
Interesting.
