This is the most nerve wracking point of the mission. Reentry was the biggest issue they had with Artemis I so hopefully it's an easy trip back.

Have to say, I was wondering what the fuss was about assuming it’s the same as any other re-entry. ChatGPT has just educated me that lunar orbit return is 40% faster and needs to dissipate twice as much energy as low earth orbit

I’ve seen them described as “emotional support astronauts” - they really give you hope for humanity at a bleak time.

More interested in their reentry ATM, nobody's doing any moonwalking for another handful of years if they're lucky. A lot of assumptions were made about the reentry process with no validation testing but they're a higher level of idiot than me so hey-ho. Seat-of-the-pants stuff.

Today's key word is ablation.
