  1. 4:58 As I recall, the main reason why Apollo flew an aerodynamic re-entry (with an offset centre of mass) was it gave them a wider range of incoming angles, and hence a wider safety margin. Otherwise the tolerance on the re-entry angle would have been very tight, and the risk of missing it (with consequent loss of the astronauts) too high.
