Nice! What was the re-entry speed at the moment this video was taken?

@youtubicious

Usualy the re-entry speed is around 25 Mach ( > 30700 km/h -> aprox 8400 m/s). It would be nice to have some more exact data though.

@fumafuma2010. Don't forget to thank Australia. We have been planning for it's return to outback South Australia for many years now and it was our Defence personnel who ensured it landed in a safe and controlled environment. Well done Guys.
