What are the contingencies for a shuttle which while it is in orbit, is
determined not to be able to withstand reentry for some reason, say
major tile damage in critical areas?  Could a crew survive long enough
for a second shuttle launch (probably a month distant)?  Is MIR an
official alternative?
