There are tiles on the entire space shuttle. Every square inch is covered in tiles.

How did Ronald mc nair die?
If it is the Mcnair I am thinking of, he was killed in the Challenger spacecraft accident which essentially exploded while still in the atmosphere. Barbara Mcnair was a Black actress and singer, her career was cut short by a brush with the Narcotics laws, in a way before she really attained star status. She had a TV show for a while and used the theme song- It"s not Unusual, a good choice!
