Excellent Idea

Dwayne Day suggests that, rather than hiding the remains of Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia, they should be displayed for the public.

I've thought as much as long as I can recall(certainly from well before Columbia disintegrated four years ago). But the "engineering forensics" context is a clever way of doing it without turning it into some maudlin memorial.

I dunno. While there is certainly an educational aspect, I suspect it would be more of a turnoff for those on the fence wiht respect to support for space, and ammo for those opposed.
