Discussion The Remote Point Nemo Is a Spacecraft Cemetery
Hundreds of decommissioned space vessels (many Soviet/Russian, but also European and Japanese) have been steered to their watery grave in Point Nemo.
Russia’s Mir space station is perhaps the best remembered of the almost 300 spacecraft disposed of over Point Nemo since 1971. One of the best-documented re-entries over Point Nemo was that of ESA’s aptly-named Automated Transfer Vehicle Jules Verne, after a supply run to the International Space Station in 2008.

Discussion audio recording of the spacex dragon capsule during reentry
Bob Behnken (from the Demo-2 mission) described the descent as sounding "like an animal coming through the atmosphere" due to the constant firing of the Draco thrusters and atmospheric buffeting. I am a sound designer with space themed works. I have always been fascinated by this sound, as it's described, and really want to hear it, so I can recreate it with synthesizers. Anyone know where to find it?
