Okay, Karen

* bunny hops on Moon * "YAYYY!"

Even if they did inspect and notice the hole, the main question is the time to execute the contingency plan as there was no other shuttle on standby to rescue them - standby shuttles were then implemented afterwards for every mission!

The maximum structural temperature (177°C) of the space shuttle was determined from the maximum service temperature of its skin material, an Aluminum 7075 alloy. Mechanical properties such as yield and fatigue strength would be greatly affected beyond that, rendering the shuttle unusable. Sources you can check to verify this: Curry, Donald M. . Vol. 104773. Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, 1993. Gong, Leslie, Robert D. Quinn, and William L. Ko. "Reentry heating analysis of space shuttle with comparison of flight data." (1982). In addition, "plastic" refers to a family of materials, which can vary in operating temperatures. As someone who does graduate research in spacecraft heat shield design, I don't need to read what some internet rando tell me I can or cannot do.

​@@galacticgreasercoming from the expert that's vomiting 3 facts in a minute about an accident investigated by thousands of people in the last 40 years and all this for a handful of views . Enjoy your doughnut dork 😋 !

​​@@galacticgreaserThe specific aluminum alloy used in the Space Shuttle's structure, known as 2219-T87, had a melting point around 1,221 degrees Fahrenheit (660 degrees Celsius). However, during reentry, the orbiter's thermal protection system shielded it from temperatures exceeding 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit (about 1,650 degrees Celsius). This system included reinforced carbon-carbon on the leading edges and silica tiles on the lower surface to dissipate and withstand the intense heat generated during reentry into Earth's atmosphere. Thus 600>200 !

@@pepsitwsit A material's melting point is NOT its maximum service temperature. Maximum service temperature, which is when a significant change in properties is observed for a specific operating environment, is lower than the melting point. This is basic engineering practice - you never design around melting points

@pepsitwsit you are 100% wrong dude. Mechanical properties for aluminium change under 200 degrees, meaning it must not reach those temperatures. What we want to prevent isn't melting of the metal, but rather it reaching a temperature at which it's mechanical properties change (yield strength for example). Melting point has nothing to do with this. Even if the outside temperatures rise above melting point, it does not mean that the alloy will reach those temperatures in the time given. Do you even realise how long it would take to heat metal to that temperature, through heat resistant tiles, at low air density conditions?

The Taylor Series is a mathematical tool that basically expresses a complicated function as a sum of simpler building blocks, making it easier to calculate. So y'know, one would expect Taylor S. to be Taylor Swift, but the Taylor Series comes up as a bait-and-switch

i still don’t get it

@@galacticgreaser Oh thank you it makes a lot of sense now! (I have to learn how to solve that now haha)

@@zaracheerleader13 basically there's something in maths called Taylor Series. When you see Taylor S. You usually think 'oh, Taylor Swift', but this time it's about Taylor Series. Do you get it now?

​@@zaracheerleader13 - oh, I like Taylor S. - Swift? - No. Series.

It's super lame. #lame

I know I was really *⚡️shocked⚡️* to hear that story
