I saw lost of "white" dots on the screen flowing back. But this was at
about 60 miles altitude (not sure if NASA TV uses US or nautical miles).
Is this truly debris from the ET ?

I assume that at that altitude, density of atmosphere is low enough that
particules don't decelerate much by the time they get to the wing so
they won't cause much damage. Is this tyme of shedding normal on all
missions, with this one having the rising sun light them up to make them
much moe visible ?
