I did not know there were sites in Spain and Northwestern Africa. My question to the board is this. Wasn't there alot of talk many years ago, of using the landing strip at KSC for all shuttle landings, and leaving Edwards and White Sands as the alternates? Are they still planning this, or has it been scrapped?
