Thank you so much for sharing. This is what we need, an engineer from top companies explain the physics concept behind marvelous technology that they created. I've been fall in love with physics since high school.

I have a good idea! Pick one YouTube comment a month as LM’s favorite, and send them a skunky sticker or lanyard or something like that. Cheers from NH!

well, isn't it easer just to use the hole in the ozone? less heat and friction I know it's still e= 1/2m v2 but floating in and out got potential that way

Why dont we just slow down re-entry? This would allow space craft to renenter without heating up.

can you do it again using American values? idk what any of that meter gram killo stuff means... I need miles per hour, pounds and fahrenheit in order to understand it.
