Document Summary

This document appears to be a page from a book or report (titled 'Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?') analyzing a specific Boeing/NASA internal slide dated February 21, 2003. The slide discusses 'SOFI' (foam) impact on Space Shuttle tiles, likely in the context of the Space Shuttle Columbia investigation. The text critiques the slide, pointing out that while it claims the test model ('Crater') was conservative, the actual flight conditions involved foam volumes significantly larger (1920 cu in vs 3 cu in) than what was tested. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp.
