Speaking of - those tiles should be arriving around noon. I'm going to need your assistance with adjusting the Blackbird's flight surfaces to compensate for the added weight of both the ablative re-entry tiles and the glider. I've already retrofitted the engines to use the solid-fuel-conversion ramjet boosters, and installed an updated control software module.

But for the moment, if anyone needs me, I'll be in my lab. If I'm horizontal, just talk louder.
