(...) There are no retro rockets used in an Apollo re-entry to Earth. Only the heat of friction and the parachutes slow the ship down from orbital speeds to the slow speed required for a safe splashdown. (...) If there was such a laboratory it would (...)

There are plenty on brickbay: (URL) link might not work, so if it doesn't search for: "Brick, Round 2 x 2 x 2 with Fins " THE space logo is the little planet with the 'ring' around it.

(...) It's more complicated than that. The rocket was a several-stage affair; the first few stages would drop off and burn up as you head up through the atmosphere; by the time you reach orbit only a small amount of rocket is left. The Lunar Module (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)

Jesse & All, (...) Thanks. I have no idea how many plates and bricks, but let's say several hundred right now, maybe a coupe thousand so far, in the incomplete phase.

(...) Dave, you are correct in observing a small mistake concerning the rockets. There were parachutes that helped the rockets land in the ocean but even so, in a unique way, the parachute acted not only with but against the retro rockets because (...)
