It's. After watching this short clip, I just found out that heat shields don't do what we think they do. They actually are used to slow down the spacecraft. I always thought they were used to dissipate heat that was generated from entering the atmosphere, but actually, that is not true. It's actually used to slow down the spacecraft so you can do more research and see how that works and things, but I thought that was interesting
