If I understand correctly, that flip at the end is to ‘dig’ the spacecraft into the atmosphere to avoid skipping right back out into space.

What I want to know is how they fixed the problem without testing it a 2nd time. What if they just exacerbated the problem…

Imagine seeing earth just a short while ago as a distant blue orb behind the moon. And now….

Dumb question: is a slow re-entry not possible, at a speed that minimizes the intense heat and friction? Is it not possible to come back down at a highly obtuse angle at a couple hundred MPH?

I can’t believe they got footage of this, made for this sub

GoPro and Redbull need to team up and sponsor a space mission. The re-entry shots would be epic.

Saw a report that they found excessive scorching from this re-entry; hope they fixed it better this time
