The riskiest moments of NASA's Artemis II mission may still be ahead

I actually was thinking about this today because they have had trouble in the past with a heat tiles for coming in through the atmosphere heating up too fast. So, I found myself concerned about another Columbia incident because of the heat tiles not working right. So, hopefully everything will work out okay this time. 
 
begin quotes:
As four astronauts make their fiery plunge through the atmosphere Friday evening, they'll rely on a heat shield with known design flaws.
