Does anyone know if CTKH has the capability of making thick tiles like those used on the space shuttle. If so, can they make them in sizes that are substantially larger then those used on the shuttle. Finally, can they build them stronger than what's used on the shuttle.

I'm not saying they should go into that business, I'm just curious if they could. I believe larger, stronger tiles are the key to either a next generation shuttle, or making the current one much safer. It would be great if CTKH had that capability and got a contract to do so, but I'm certainly not counting on it.

I also wonder if a strong, thin, lightweight ceramic could cover the insulation on the tank to prevent it from breaking off. Clearly weight is a key, I'm just thinking of the possibilities.
