    Oh wow, my earth level reentry vessel actually works way better here.. the faster airflow creates a bow-shock that stops the plasma from actually touching the craft as much. ID:2303653 no idea how long it will last, but definitely more than 1 minute with absolutely no damage

    I thought that during reentry there is a lower presence of pressure more than anything...

    id:2303585 I know that It looks kind of crappy, but it works. I wish I took more time to make it look like an actual re-entry pod.
