"The Orion crew capsule will tear through the air at speeds of up to 25,000 miles per hour, with temperatures around 2,760°C, just under half the surface temperature of the sun."
"Dr. Charles Camarda warns that NASA is ignoring the serious risk of disaster, stating that this mission is being run by 'exactly the same thinking' that caused the deadly Challenger and Columbia disasters."
"The capsule will need to reduce its speed from seven miles per second to just 129 miles per hour over 16 minutes before deploying 11 parachutes to ensure a safe landing."
"As Orion careens towards the Earth's surface, it will first detach from the European Service Module, which will burn up in the atmosphere below."
NASA's Artemis II crew is set to make a perilous re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, traveling at speeds of 25,000 miles per hour. The Orion crew capsule will experience temperatures exceeding 2,760°C. The mission involves a trajectory that has not been tested, raising concerns about safety. Dr. Charles Camarda warns that the mission's planning mirrors the flawed thinking behind the Challenger and Columbia disasters. The capsule will need to decelerate significantly before deploying parachutes for a safe splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
