Bad Hit on JOINT

carl — 8/13/2007 6:50:18 PM (archived)

Question..If any protectant is used to cover up the gouge, would it act to disrupt the airflow over the orbiter and peel the rest of the tiles away? Really bad place to take a tile hit right at the joint. And has any other orbiter come back with a similar gash?
