Missing tiles on Space Shuttle Columbia's (OV-102) starboard Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) pod, discovered during the first shuttle flight (STS-1), flown by astronauts John Young and Robert Crippen (April 12-14, 1981.) The tiles were discovered to have been shaken loose/off by the acoustic energy at the launch pad during launch. Since the missing tiles were located in a non-critical area, it was determined (correctly) that their absence would pose minimal risk for Columbia's re-entry and landing.

This appears to be a damaged copy of a NASA public domain image. Agree? Disagree? In those days, it was probably printed on a 35mm slide and used in sales presentations...

Before digital photography and scanning, NASA used to sell 35mm slides of many programs and vehicles. This appears to possibly be one of those stock slides that was cropped for Rohr presentation use.

Some people referred to the presentations as dog and pony shows.
