Spectacular Video of Jules Verne Apocalyptical Re-Entry
7:00AM Jesus Diaz | Here’s the video of the fiery re-entry of the Jules Verne Autonomous Transport Vehicle, the huge European Space Agency spacecraft that carried almost five tonnes of food, air, water and fuel on board the International Space Station. It was taken in high definition from a NASA’s DC-8 at 37,000 feet, 145km north of the entry path.

Check its scale compared to the Apollo and a Progress capsule. Update: More pictures coming in now. More »
