I'm curious, when you proffer NASA has NIH management, do you have any real reasons or are you expressing your ignorance of the technical issues. Are you suggesting NASA somehow rejected using this material as a replacement on the existing shuttle. Aside from weight issues and the monsterous issues of stripping off tiles and replacing with an alternative material, would this material stand up to a hit of sheded foam any better than the existing tiles. The shuttle had no foam shedding problem until the decision, the dumb decision to use a foam without freon as the solvent. Generally in dealing with engineering failure, you deal with what is broken first.
