Now I'm not sure about that claim that this was unknown outside Nasa.
I seem to recall an even more serious TPS problem a few years prior.
I remember seeing pictures in AW&ST. I think there was substantial
size total burn through of an elevon. The pictures looked pretty bad.
I can't remember the orbiter or flight number. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
