I know its normal for foam to fall off, but that was clearly a tile. I want to see it again on youtube. Entire tiles falling off cant be good for reentry.

Why do they keep launching these when so many of them blow up?
- a) it's the final flight
b) not that many blow upmonospaced - lolmoldero
- 2 blew up. Killed like 13/14 people. Seems like a lot. Especially since people got so upset.boobs
- a) it's the final flight

i heard the pilots wear diapers during liftoff 'cause the g-forces push the poop right out into your space-pants
