If thats the case, somebody screwed up by not doing a space walk to look at that area and replace the tiles if damaged. But its hard to change the heavily scheduled work loads One would think so, but the NASA chiefs were quick to say today that they don't have the capability to do space walks beyond the perimeter of the payload bay, or to replace or repair tiles while in space. Looks like that one's going to be looked into with a magnifying glass.

OT Hi Sig, I recall you talking about your career at BA over the years. Sounds like you you had a bunch of very interesting and rewarding jobs during the 'Right Stuff' days. I read the book, the first part of it about the test pilots was mesmerizing. It looks like BA is getting back into defense in a bigger way, due to the state of commercial aviation and also Airbus. I keep reading about the science fiction stuff being worked on now, like UCAV planes, supposed microwave weapons, and who knows what else. As for the shuttle, an amazing machine, it's too bad there was not some way around those tiles, in that losing a few can apparently be so critical.... Best regards, John
