nail-biting goes with stuff like this.

they’ll get a chance to check it out when they start space-walking.

I have handled shuttle tiles, while light and delicate, like Miss California, they are still tough as heck. ;-)

my only concern would be of the depth of any damage and I need to check the re-entry aero flow and heat hot spots info, these tiles are likely not in a high heat flow area, even so, a patchjob is a viable option if some tiles are suspect.

hang in there.
