@thisishunnybunny123: NASA trusted 24,000 tiles to stop this shuttle from burning apart during reentry… would you get on it? 🚀😳 #creatorsearchinsights #NASA #Moon #SpaceTok #Atlantis

vrtualecho :

Space Columbia..(rip to all of them🕊️)

Rory🏳️‍🌈 :

Not one, the Atlantis survived a major heatshield strike it really depends on where

Rick :

amazing. considering how many things had to go right to finish the mission!

marv_156 :

Was also crazy expensive to refurbish after every launch

#1 monika enjoyer :

qnd one tile did it once

needih469 :

Why you telling me?

Miraj :

Wonder why SpaceX is doing the same approach of pacing thousands of tiles for heat shields

Awptic :

They stopped our class to watch it enter one last time and I remember it vividly

𝒦𝓨ℒ𝓔 ✗ˑo :

Rip those who lost their lives on discovery and challenger💔🕊️

qx3rl🇦🇺 :

It could reenter safely with only 80 percent of them it didn’t need all of them ofc not optimal but

Hugh Gweener :

Cool story bro! Any VERIFIABLE PROOF that “space,” as described, exists!

STARLIGHT Space Agency :

thank god it didn't

Karl :

bit nuanced, i think it depends which tile is damaged/where it is damaged - i believe a few or more tiles have been damaged or lost during re-entry quite a few occasions, but im not sure

Luka :

She is MAGNIFICENT is an understatement 🫡

VO1D :

No way I was singing the song then I scrolled to this

Za 🚀🪐 :

columbia wasn’t as lucky 😔

HunnyBunny Artworks :

Would YOU trust 24,000 tiles between you and burning up at 3,000°F? 😳🚀

Mike :

You are being lied to people. Research flat earth.

Mihkel Valkonen :

Lies, lies and lies.

«Harry»🇦🇺 :

STS-27 had one tile broken but a metal joint was behind it which stopped the shuttle ripping apart. STS-107 has the same issue but there wasnt a joint so plasma entered snd ripped the shuttle apart

Consideringchoices :

I feel so lucky that one of the guys who took part on working on them is in my bible study
