Straight-up lithobraking upon return is definitely a… bold move. Looks awesome, though.
Very bold, I do wonder if, the vehicle will look as good as in the video, after ballistic reentry and lithosphere “belly flop”.
I wonder what the terminal velocity of the vehicle is…
Haha I had to look up that term!
