In article , "Oz Lander" wrote: Why does the shuttle have to be travelling so fast to re-enter the atmosphere? How do you propose to slow the shuttle down from orbital velocity?

What would it take to slow the shuttle down whilst in orbit, enough to allow it to re-enter at a slower speed? -- Oz Lander.
