#Artemis II astronauts will splash down Friday using a new reentry technique at 32 times the speed of sound that has yet to be tested in real-world scenarios. Because Artemis I went back into space between the first dip into the atmosphere, the hot interior of the #HeatShield kept producing gases, but the exterior was no longer shedding material fast enough to allow those gases to escape. Pressure built up, which #cracked the heat shield https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2026-04-09/artemis-ii-to-put-new-reentry-plan-to-test

🚀🎉 NASA's latest brainwave: Let's send #astronauts around the #moon in a cobbled-together, blazing tin can! Perfectly safe—except for that pesky little problem where the heat shield disintegrates like soggy cereal. 🥣🌌 But hey, who needs comprehensive testing when you can just wing it on a multimillion-dollar joyride? 🤡🔥
