I Spent $302 Million And All I Got Was This Lousy Debris Pile

But oh, what a glorious pile of debris. The amazing thing to me isn’t that they found 40 percent of the shuttle, but rather that they found a body of a man who had wandered away from a nursing home, a pickup truck wanted as evidence in a homicide investigation, and walked from the Earth to the Moon and back, plus another couple of laps around the Earth, in the process.

And they still haven’t completed their searches of Nevada, California, New Mexico, or Utah, where more debris is thought to have come crashing to earth in the aftermath of Columbia’s breakup on 01 February.
