The aforementioned insulation will break and powder from simply dropping it on the floor. It is very fragile when un mounted or protected.

It would probaby not have broken your windshield, but might have cracked it and would have blown into thousands of fragments and dust.IMHO

I found it very interesting that in yesterdays

press briefing Dittemore went into great detail about the engineering annalists of the strike of the "insulation" on the wing. The report used the term "white" but Dittemore wanted a review asking, Was it white or light colored.

what was the speed of the package at 80 seconds into launch? And what was the temperature at launch? Was it colder than normal?

If it wouldn't have broken a windshield how did it damage the tiles?
