Why Does a Meteor Explode in the Air? | Wired Science | Wired.comhttp:// http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/02/why-does-a-meteor-explode-in-the-air/
read all the details...or just believe it ran into the air and over 34 seconds pieces got hot, broke off until the air was like a brick wall and it splattered like a tomato :shocked:

i guess I hadn't figured for higher than terminal velocity at that low level . big drag force. makes sense now.

i'm not a moron.. I understand friction... and no.. the space shuttle usually doesn't explode upon re-entry.
controled angle among other things.. etc.
Shuttle does not come in at like 23000 MPH either. Nor does the Shuttle have gas pressure building up at it's core like a steam pressure bomb. Those could be other factors.
