Reply to comment by Chevron7Nice in Russia may need to send a rescue mission to the International Space Station for 3 astronauts after a leak in their Soyuz capsule by A_Lazko
The red bull guy was also 10 times lower and still technicly in the atmosphere. Its also all denser there. Even if the astronouts came to a stop at 400km they would have 300km to hit the atmosphere. They would do it at 2.5km/s... and that would not start slowing them down for probably another 50 or sth. Its mach 7... they would burn

I assumed they cant leave landing capsule at some lower hight. No depressurization chamer etc... also having rocket engine brings to much to the equation... it cant have fuel to stop all 2.5km/s of the decend so...
