Filler, it's alllll filler...
So, 'this big patient is cured'... yay...
Once I watched enthralled at the shuttle's gentle arc into space. I'm a little more cynical these days. Today on 'Celebrity Space Launch', astronaut Steve Robinson successfully removed two strips of ceramic filler that were protruting from between the protective heat-resistant tiles on the belly of the orbiter Discovery.
Um, why hasn't anyone mentioned why it isn't a problem to remove them? Are they not essential to prevent ingress of 1,500 degree gases between the tile joints?
Well, if I had ceramic fillers plugging my gaps to prevent the ingress of superheated gases, I wouldn't be plucking them so flippantly, let me tell you. Fingers crossed for re-entry, team...
Your man firmly insulated,

It isn't a problem to remove them because they are cosmetic, and the removal thereof greatly assists to keep the mission in the public eye, and helps US forget that the emporer um president isn't wearing any clothes
EXACTLY, well said. I mean we wouldnt want people asking the hard questions like "what happened at G8?" or better still how did a reptillian shapeshifter gain control of a country. Besides if the sugar barons in the US say that half your daily food intake can be pure sugar then they must be right.....
