Shuttle Landing
``The probabilities are high that we will go to Kennedy Space
Center.'' That word came from shuttle control today, after
Columbia's scrubbed landing. However, an attempt will be
made to land the shuttle at White Sands at 1107 EST (yes,
it's EST). If that is impossible, an attempt will be made for
the 15,000 paved strip at KSC either 6 minutes later, or at
1447 EST, one orbit later. Officials are confident the shuttle
can make it, as it stopped within 7,000 feet on the last two
missions, but the prospects of going off the sides (it is 300
feet wide) into an alligator filled moat are not comforting.
