Surely there are dozens of materials that will withstand the heat and

I would have done that on day one. The idiots at NASA and spent a
billion dollars and 2 and 1/2 years and they haven't figured it out
yet.....

There might be an air resistance issue, but that does sound like a good
idea.

It's too easy. It was the first think I thought about after the
accident.

Right. Some girl on the radio thought of it too. So we know NASA
thought of it.

There has to be something we don't know. The guys working on the
thing are NOT stupid. It does seem weird though that they would have spent
all that time and still have the problem. I sure would like to be able to be
privy to their "discussions" about the problem.
