Why are meteors destroyed when approaching earth but not rockets?

Because rockets don't have enough velocity, i guess

I mean, they probably use aerobreaking to slow down their velocity

I did that once in ksp on the venus equivalent and it didn't work as the diagram shows.
I think the whole space thing is a hoax.

I'm glad you find yourself funny

Is this a joke?

Please show an example in history where a rocket has approached earth from orbit.

rockets or spacecrafts, the same

>>8613792
>spacecrafts

Which are specifically designed to handle entering the atmosphere at 30000 km/h.

Do you think meteors are specifically designed enter the atmosphere at 30000 km/h?

>>8613795
maybe.
Also maybe they don't enter the atmosphere at 30.000km/h but more at 90.000.

>>8613747
Because we've never been to space thats why

very very low quality bait

They don't always work, either.

>>8613765
it does work if you dont fly too low

>>8613997
you need to fly low to reach the upper atmosphere so it can lower your speed

>>8614012
I mean dont fly too low inside the atmosphere

>>8613997
>HE DIDNT FLY SO GOOD

Rocket stages sometimes do burn up on re-entry. It depends on how high up they are and how they're built.

The space shuttle of course has heat tiles and has to re-enter at a specific angle or it will burn up.

Those are persistent pests. Even /x/ hates them.
