10 metric ton Orion capsule.

about twice the mass of the Apollo capsule, as you put it, Laurie.

And what speeds are they hitting?

And how hard is this to scientifically ensure that the heat protection's there?

Yeah, so it is.

It's a 10 metric ton capsule, about twice the mass of Apollo when it, you know, reentered the atmosphere.

So it's bigger, which is great for the astronauts.

We've seen the cramped quarters.

Can you imagine how small that Apollo capsule was?

And yes, they hit the top of the atmosphere going 25,000 miles an hour.

And over the course of 13 minutes, slow down to about 20 miles an hour.

That should be their hit velocity, you know, under parachutes going nice and slow coming down into the Pacific.

And another number I love is the heat shield gets to be about the temperature of the surface of the sun, about 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

That's really hot.

And so this is one of the biggest challenges of spaceflight is our atmosphere is great to help us slow down, but it heats the heck out of everything.

So we've got to make sure those heat shields work.

And I think the work between Lockheed Martin and NASA and probably subject matter experts even beyond those two organizations

have really contributed to the confidence that we have going in to today's reentry, but we'll still all be on pins and needles.

I mean, and the confidence that's been built over the last nine days or so.

This mission, and we don't want to touch on all the wood here at the moment, but has been remarkably successful.
