I recall reading somewhere that some parts of Columbia are going to be sent to
research centers for the long term, for studies on the affects of re-entry. Let
the scientists take their cracks at the bird's remains I say...if it continues
to teach us something that would be a fitting enough memorial.
Apollo 1 I know has been pretty much been under lock and key since the flash
fire and subsequent disassembly of the spacecraft. Were the remains of
Challenger pretty much buried in that old missile silo soon after the recover
and investigation efforts closed?
