Explain how the heat tiles on the underside of the space shuttle function. Using publicly available data perform a calculation to justify the thickness of the tiles.

A hot (80 ◦C), spherical rock 10 cm in diameter is dropped into a very large, well-stirred tank of ice water. What is the total amount of heat given off by the rock after 1 min?
