Really? It look so dangerous :S
Plenty of analysis and checks were taken to approve this condition. I am confident with the testing we did and the analytical results. No worries. :)
and... what cause this kind of...damage? air friction? a crash with space... rubbish?
Does the clearance to fly back "as is' is given basis the fact that heat wave might not hit directly on the protruding surface ?
What is the approximate temperature expected at the protruding edge during descent ?
Hoping for a safe return :)
