Jesse Rogerson is here.
He is an astrological physician.
No, an astrophysicist.
That's the one.
And a professor at York University to discuss all things space.
Jesse, what a pleasure it is having you back on the show.
I have.
I've missed you.
You normally come on the show.
You've been away for a few months, heads down in the books, teaching students that are somehow more important than me.
I'm not upset, but I am glad you're back.
How you been?
The nundergrads.
All right.
So walk me through re-entry with a spaceship because this is not a trivial thing.
When we wave our hands through the air, we don't feel it.
But air causes an incredible amount of friction.
And so when things enter the atmosphere, whether it's an asteroid or a spaceship or whatever...
they get super hot.
And this is not a trivial problem for like, I don't know, physicists, spacecraft designers, aeronautical spatial engineers to do.
