The reason most things heat up on reentry is because they are coming down not just from space, but from orbit. Orbital speed is about 8 kilometers per second, or almost 18,000 mph, and you don’t need to slow down that much to deorbit. Baumgartner fell at only a tenth that speed.
Ah, Nate, you’re forgetting something. In “Yesterday’s Enterprise”, the Enterprise-C went forward in time, and in any case it was back in its own time by the episode’s end.
I’d go: jelly beans, eggs, chicks, rabbit. That way I’d be progressing in size, and alternating between chocolate and not chocolate so that each one’s a change from the one before.
