Just a quick opinion. i think they goofed by not repairing that tile. I sincerly hope it isn/\'t a fatal mistake.

If anything happens to the shuttle because of that decision not to fix the tile, it will have a dramatic long-term effect on the program .. as it should.

I'd say that they had a prime opportunity to test the new adhesives under real conditions in a non-lethal manner, they missed their opportunity.

I'm not an aerospace engineer, nor am I familiar with any of the data they looked at. So, I don't think anything, nor am I in a position to guess.

Then again we could have wound up with an astronaut super glued to the bottom of the shuttle

 

[doniston]
