"“The successful landing of the Space Shuttle Columbia on April 14th ended almost ten years of worldwide media coverage on the ‘trials and tribulations’ of the Space Shuttle. Seldom, if ever, have ceramic materials had such visibility, albeit often negative. The end result was gratifying not only to those directly involved but also to the ceramic community in general. … The mid-1960s development of a lightweight materials made of silica fibers must be credited to Bob Beasley. At the time, the reusable space vehicle was only a concept and the insulation material had other potential applications.

In the final analysis, the silica-fiber tile was selected. ”" (from American Ceramic Society) ; Signed by Author. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
