NASA has decided not to repair the Shuttle. The damage is not sufficient to endanger the crew, but could cause some damage which would cost a lot to repair on earth. Not to mention the fact that space walks could be dangerous to the people and could result in more damage to the tiles.
But, it seems wise to me that this would be the best opportunity to test the ability of a tile patch. It could show not only how well it could be done, but also how well the patch would survive re-entry.
What are you thoughts?
