[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Ceramic Tile

So the space shuttle that I was a door gunner on 13 missions for had ceramic tiles on it to keep the re-entry heat from destroying the craft.

Why not use ceramic tiles on the outside of the safe for fire protection?

Probably because one of those tiles cost's more than a 2-door Ft. Knox fire/water rated safe.

They already use them inside some safes.

Did you just say you were a door gunner on a space shuttle?

Many quality safes have ceramic wool or something on the inside that protects the contents from fire.

I think he means that he kept it secure while stored here on earth.

If it wa on the outside, it would deflect heat from the steel.
