I've got it down, now I'm doing a high-quality print-out. This is a terrific

It's an interesting and (yes) horrifying read. I'm amazed the vehicle
continued to fly as long as it did with the damage they deduced must have
been occuring inside the wing.

I have to wonder if the vehicle could have been made more failure-resistant
if the wing had been made of, say, composites, or if there had been a backup
system to inject coolant into the wing interior in case of a penetration.
