Explanation:
It is easy to penetrate the atmosphere quickly, and burn up like a meteor. The problem is to enter slowly. You can do that too, but it would take a huge amount of fuel with ordinary rockets. ... To skim the Earth's atmosphere in orbit, your spacecraft has to travel at least as fast as 7.8 km / second, or about 17,500 mph.
