Watching ABC this morning... their reporter, sitting in a shuttle simulator, called the heat buildup the "re-entry burn," then described how the shuttle would have been doing S-turns to slow down. In fact, the was still well above the altitude where those S-turns would have started. I guess it's too much to hope that network reporters would actually study what they're reporting on. More correctly, perhaps, it's too much to hope that they'd be given the time to do so.
