You may already be aware of the HIAD system. But I was just wondering what you think of it. I think the idea is a great one myself if it can be made to work. http://www.nasa.gov/offices/oct/game_changing_technology/game_changing_development/HIAD/irve-3.html

thanks, wasn't aware of this. so at the moment NASA uses ablative aeroshell tiles, is this inflatable tubular shell made of the same material in fabric form or is it totally new material do you know?

ha, there's even an Android app game!.... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.hiadforandroid&hl=en
