I haven't seen any video or slideshow of the ceramic tile separation yet, but I thought they lose a few tiles with each launch (or maybe it's on landing).
I don't know about the rest of youz', but I almost got a hard on just watching that 4-1/2 million TON beast blast off again after what, 2-1/2 years. I wonder what Cmdr. Eileen Collins felt as pilot?
Begs the question: if "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" then do female pilots "Pop a Rod with the Need for Speed?"
Don't get me wrong, I admire the heck out of her (and think she's cute), and I heard that she's got tons of hours in all kinds of aircraft, but I've never met a woman having a man's testoterone-fueled, gearhead, speed affliction.
Maybe I need to meet a different type of of woman.
I'm sure she wouldn't disappoint you.
