    The remains of Space Shuttle Columbia are being carefully reconstructed in a hangar at Kennedy Space Center as investigators work to determine the cause of the disaster. When the investigation ends, NASA will need to decide what to do with the over 80,000 pounds of debris. Some officials suggest burying the debris out of respect for the astronauts who died, while others believe the debris could be placed in a museum given Columbia's status as the oldest shuttle in the fleet. A final decision on handling the debris will be made this summer.
