Looks like a Thermal Protection System tile was broken during recent testing. I think this is the first time anyone has publicly seen the back side of a TPS tile. You can see it pretty clearly as the engineer is holding it in his hand. Surely don’t want any broken tiles during atmospheric reentry. No bueno.
