    I really appreciate the transparency. This is a step in the right direction and hopefully a sign of positive changes to come at NASA.

    The original pictures of missing chunks were terrifying. Seeing headlines that boiled down to “trust me, bro” didn’t sit well.

      I’m assuming it was because heat shield tech is often confidential (export restricted and whatever) because they are a necessary component of ICBM payloads

      glad they could release information here though

      It’s going to take a lot to change the agency culture, but I’m glad Jared seems to be taking the right steps.
