Not always. It will probably be grounded until something is understood
about the causes of the problem. Often it will then resume flying, under
restrictions (e.g. the door flies off at 30,000 feet so max altitude is
25,000 for the moment), while the definitive fix is devised. The suggestion
I and others are making is that applying the same standard to the Shuttle
would be reasonable.
