I don't understand why any shuttle, ever, was allowed to go into space without some means of repairing damaged tiles having been developed.
It's time to re-engineer new shuttles.

Should they have carried spare parts for every possibility? Each tile is different and has a serial number.

It's time to re-engineer new shuttles.My son will be studying aeronautical engineering and design soon.
Today he told me he will dedicate himself to designing a safer shuttle.
That's my boy!!

If memory serves, the early shuttle flights often returned with many tiles missing.
