It wasn't missing tiles. There are no tiles on that part of the wing.


My guess is you will see more falling through as you are seeing now, simply because the designs were cheaper as explained before (ie: cost bang for buck)
Even if they were expensive, they'd still end up falling. What you are proposing about putting boosters of sufficient size to leave Earth orbit on all satellites would be far too expensive to put them up there to begin with.


Your defense of space junk is suspect, now you're just being indigent.
I'm not "defending" space junk as much as pointing out the unfeasibility of your idea of strapping boosters to all satellites to prevent them falling to Earth.


First everything falls, now nothing falls. Space junk is a serious problem along with your wish wash attitude.
I never said nothing falls. I said only one person has ever been struck and is still alive and well to tell her tale about it.
...and yes, space junk is serious problem....to other satellites.


Not to mention your neglect & disregard for the American Bald Eagle as an endangered species.
What's that got to do with satellites falling out of orbit?
Try to stay on-point.
