Ridiculous post, the space shuttle was actually covered with LI-900 silica tiles, made from essentially very pure quartz sand. The insulation prevented heat transfer to the underlying orbiter aluminum skin and structure. These tiles were such poor heat conductors that one could hold one by the edges while it was still red hot.I do apologise, been doing too many word association threads on here.

Oh I see, to make re-entry easier then?Interesting fact as to why Mercedes race in silver colours: back in the day paint was lead based, so very heavy. To reduce the weight of the car to increase speed, they just didn't paint it and left it 'au naturel'
