LOFTID

 
I thought this video was interesting if for no other reason than it was narration silent and followed the Buster Keaton rule for silent films: minimal title cards  :)
 
I suppose that surviving re-entry from low earth orbit isn't as hard to do as returning from the moon but the heat shield concerns with the Orion part of the Artemis moon rocket makes me wonder if somehow that Apollo heat shield technology was lost along the way ?
 
Anyway, amazing that an inflated balloon can survive the re-entry from low earth orbit.
