They may also have something to do with the Space Shuttle's heat tiles, which protect the spacecraft from burning up on re-entry, since there is silica in those tiles. But I'm not sure if Corning designed them. Of course, Corning is also famous - or infamous - for their silicone breast implants. The lawsuits resulting from that invention sent the company straight into bankruptcy. Well, they make specially heat resistant windows for various spacecraft, starting from the Mercury vehicles.
