Context from http://www.informationweek.com/storage/disaster-recovery/hard-drive-data-from-space-shuttle-colum/207602714: "... the drive had melted before landing with other debris in Texas, but the drive was only half full and since the astronauts had used DOS the data was not scattered. The portion of the drive containing the data was not damaged and Edwards recovered almost all of the data". Not really at the "almost impossible" end of the data-recovery spectrum. -- Email to [email protected] will bounce.
