@ShawnWhiteBMX they're made to deal with the atmosphere up to the speed and altitude that they are deployed. However, the inside surface of the fairing has components which are not able to cope with the atmospheric forces. Wiring, motors or explosive bolts for deployment, sensors, frame, etc. SpaceX has been able to recover some fairings by guiding them back with attitude control. But if they're just falling back uncontrolled, there's a good chance of stuff burning up.
The second stage ejects the payload fairings. Those fairings just fall back to earth and potentially burn up.
That’s good information I was wondering how it doesn’t catch fire once it hits the ground

@SpecialEDy wonder if some of the wildfires are Space X sponsored
Beautiful!
Thank you 🙏🏻 it really is I love it
Great video!
Thank you!
Sonic boom
That's the first stage returning to earth
That hot?
I saw it south of me. Red glowing piece that fell over joshua tree and finally burned out
Wild to see that falling
The first stage either lands vertically on a bad or parachutes to earth into the gulf of mexico or pacific ocean
It looked like it was going to land in the city,,, hope not
@@ShawnWhiteBMX oh they don't come anywhere where there is a large concentration of people
