Which best explains why re-entry capsules are blunt rather than pointed?
Answer: D
The design trade is reversed at re-entry: drag is wanted, not avoided, and the real problem is heat. A detached bow shock stands off from the body and dumps most of the energy into the gas between shock and surface rather than into the structure, so bluntness is a deliberate thermal-protection choice.
