coordination needs to happen with the FAA? Are they even involved other than
clearing the airspace?

There is a huge restricted airspace east of Canaveral. It's active for
several hours before the shuttle comes down. I believe the inner slice
is ground to FL600 and the outer slice is ground to infinite.

Basically, the shuttle never comes withing 25 miles of another aircraft
coming down.
