      Just out of curiosity...   
      
        What is the carbon-carbon heat shielding on the leading edges and   
   nose of the Shuttle composed of?  I'm assuming that part of it is a   
   grahpite-fiber cloth material, but is it embedded in a ceramic   
   material, or a high-temperature epoxy?
