The Moment of Truth

Atmospheric entry has started. Time to get REALLY nervous. Now I'm in the "seven minutes of terror."

Peak heating will hit in 40 seconds. The heat and energy generated during atmospheric entry would be enough to power 280,000 homes.

Parachute must open next. My signal still getting to Earth which is AWESOME!

Parachute opening is scariest part for the team.
