   You must not have been following the news.   
      
   Seems there are a few concerns about the heat shield, which is   
   a different design from the one used Apollo, and for which there   
   are concerns about gases developing inside the shield, which can   
   then blow off parts of the shield.

   Looks like normalization of deviance to me - shades of Challenger   
   and Columbia. By the way, the "Columbia Accident Ivestigation Board"   
   report is excellent reading.  I printed it out when it came out,   
   but it is still available online.
