  1. 6:00 - I wonder how feasible it would be to hang a big parachute on the intended rear end of the space station, to keep it pointed in the right direction while it's aerobraking down from altitude? The parachute should (if it's big enough) make the station stable in pitch and yaw as it aerobrakes, meaning the onboard attitude control would only need to take care of roll (which shouldn't be hard, given that the ISS is fairly symmetrical, presumably making for a minimal inherent rolling moment, and that the big solar panels could be angled to act as control surfaces up until they start breaking off).

  2. 3:48 - Unless, of course, you're in KSP and have enough Δv to come to a standstill and fall straight down into the atmosphere. (Also, I can't be the only person who read it as "I have a discord server where I regularly *burn* up"...)
