>>7785887>This doesn't make sense, did the earth grow up around it or something?Imagine the Shuttle launched from Florida, so coastal sea breezes and occasional hurricanes kicking up lots of dirt and sand and rubbish, also, it's a post-apocalyptic scenario, so even more dirt and sand and crap would have been flying around, so over time some of it stuck to and built up around the Shuttle and its crawler, part-burying them.
