Description
The illustration depicts a spacecraft reentry into Earth's atmosphere. Inside the spacecraft, astronauts in white space suits are visibly experiencing the intense G-force of deceleration, their faces contorted from the pressure. Orange flames engulf the spacecraft's exterior as it speeds through the atmosphere. Visible is a purple space with scattered white stars in the background. There is text on the left and right of the illustration explaining the physics of space travel.
