But seriously are they fragile? I read the tiles are glued on to felt from Stetson cowboy hats because the heat of reentry forces the shuttle to flex. |

The orbiters themselves aren't exactly fragile, their tiles are. They're so fragile you can break one with your finger nail. They are 90% air after all.

Someone posted this on GMI. James May flying into space in a Lockheed U-2. Pontiac GTO chase cars too. Since the 1980s the Air Force has mostly used GM performance cars for this job.
