Host Dr. Nova Keene breaks down Artemis Two's Flight Day Ten reentry — the fastest crewed atmospheric return ever attempted. Four astronauts plunge through 4,000-degree plasma at 25,000 mph in a capsule tested once before, which revealed unexpected heat shield erosion. NASA altered the flight profile based on that data, trading known risks for unknown ones. Eleven parachutes, thirteen minutes of physics-defying descent, and splashdown in the Pacific complete humanity's return to deep space.Loved this episode?
