Re-entry and landing are difficult for spacecraft because they need to slow down from very high speeds and reduce their altitude in a short period of time without burning up or breaking apart in the process. The intense heat generated during re-entry, the precision required for the landing, and the need for complex systems to manage both make it a challenging process. Additionally, factors such as atmosphere conditions, weight distribution, and potential malfunctions add to the complexity of re-entry and landing.

Why do astronauts have to be careful when landing?
so the will not hurt them selvs.
What year was the US moon landing broadcast on television?
Television coverage of the landings were broadcast live, so between 1969 and 1972 depending on the mission.
Can space shuttle circle the runway before landing?
No, the space shuttle did not have the capability to circle the runway like traditional airplanes due to its design and trajectory upon re-entry. It followed a predetermined path and did not have the ability to change its landing location.
Why was the first moon landing significant?
The first moon landing was a stupendous technical achievement, and probably remains to this day the most remarkable accomplishment of the human race. It is so difficult to travel to the moon and return safely to Earth that it is quite amazing that we were able to do it. Aside from that, the moon landing was significant in a number of other ways. Because the US was able to do this when the USSR wasn't, the moon landing became part of the international public relations competition between the western world and the Soviet bloc. The Soviet Union, which always claimed to be superior to the decadent capitalist west in every way, obviously wasn't. The moon landing was also inspiring to a generation of scientists, who went on to create much more technology which has transformed the world very profoundly, since the moon landing in 1969, and which has made it possible for you & I to have this discussion on the internet.
Why are the Apollo spacecrafts called Apollo?
Apollo was the name of the project that was attempting to get men to the moon. The program was named after the Greek god of light and music by NASA manager Abe Silverstein. There were various parts of the mission, starting with basic tests of the components that would be used, such as the modules and the rockets. Some of the missions sent unmanned rockets into space. The first mission was Apollo 1, then Apollo 2 and so on. Apollo 7 was the first of the Apollo missions to take men into space. Apollo 11 was the first one to land on the moon. Apollo 17 was the last Apollo mission.
Why was the landing so difficult?
the landing was difficult because the cliff was almost perpindicular and the conditions were horrible
Why was the gallipoli landing so difficult?
the landing was difficult because the cliff was almost perpindicular and the conditions were horrible
Why is fuel so useful in spacecrafts?
Fuel is so useful to spacecrafts because without the fuel the spacecraft would not go.
Why did the Apollo 13 spacecraft have a parachute?
The same reason why all spacecrafts have parachutes: During reentry into the Earth's atmosphere, the spacecraft goes extremely fast. And if there are people in the spacecraft and no parachute, they would slam into the water at that speed and it would be like hitting concrete. So without a parachute, everyone on the spacecraft would be killed.
Why did the allies choose Normandy as the site for d-day invasion and why was the landing at Omaha beach so much more difficult than expected?
The Allies chose Normandy as the Germans were not expecting landing there.
Are there spacecrafts on Saturn's surface?
Saturn is a gas planet, so it has no surface
Why is fuel cells useful in spacecrafts?
so they can go out on mars and other planets
Are spacecrafts made to move faster as they move away from the earth?
no they don't so shutup
What is the probability of a penny landing on heads?
Simple question, difficult answer. It depends on how many times you want the penny to land on heads. The probability of a penny landing on heads once is 1 in 2. For it to land on heads twice is 1 in 4, for three times it is 1 in 8, and so on and so forth.
What does as opposed to a flyby mean?
"Flyby" typically refers to a quick visit or brief encounter. "As opposed to" implies a contrast or difference between two things. So, saying "as opposed to a flyby" may suggest a more thorough or in-depth interaction or examination.
Where have there been aliens?
