why spacex rockets don’t burn up during re-entry?
In: 1
The reason things burn up in entry is the speed they are going and the amount of atmosphere they are compressing in front of them.
These are no longer at orbital speeds and aren’t really using the atmosphere as a brake. The speed are around 3 times lower than those for an orbital reentry like from the shuttle or dragon capsule.
