Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains Heat Shields
Do heat shields actually shield you from heat? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice explain how the heat shields on spaceships work. What are heat shields really for? We explore objects entering Earth's orbit. Do these objects always heat up when they enter our atmosphere? We talk about retrorockets versus aerobraking and how they are both used to land spacecraft in different places. How does landing on Mars differ from landing on Earth or the Moon?
