From: Allen_Sherzer <sherzer%ti-eg.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa> >Does anyone know what plans exist for aborting a shuttle launch >from Vandenberg? I read somewhere that there were plans to build a runway on an island off of Chile for shuttle aborts. The plans, however, where from NASA and not the DOD. It is posible that the press got it wrong and that it is DOD. It looked like as good a place as any to abort a north south orbit. Allen Sherzer TI-EG
