How can a spaceship return to Earth?

To return to Earth, the spacecraft was braked by layers when the volume was thick.

To return to Earth, the spacecraft was braked by dense atmospheres.

This friction reduced their speed from 28,000km / h to about 100km / h. Next, one or more parachutes will help with a landing or a soft landing.

Upon returning from the Moon, the Apollo ships passed through the atmosphere at a higher speed (40,000 km / h). Thus gave birth to a huge heat escape. However the ship was protected by an insulating cover.

The classic spacecraft will gradually disappear, replacing it with rocket-capable planes without the aid of any airstrip. That's what the US space shuttle has been doing since 1981.
