    This is a simulation of what happens to a satellite upon reentry. It's really melting, and it's really a satellite mockup, but it was done in a lab with a wind tunnel that blasts the object with 12000* gas.
    Still cool to watch.

    I'm glad you explained that because I was just about to ask how they could get that on video.
