they should have hung a potato outside the shuttle wrapped in tin foil, so they can have baked potato on landing

Reentry in the shuttle is a rather gentle ride. Maximum is 1.5g, positive not negative because the shuttle flies "belly forward" with a pitch angle of about 40° during this phase.
Apollo astronauts experienced up to 8-9g during a lunar reentry, same for a Soyuz ballistic landing as happened twice recently. Not that funny if you are returning from a 6 month ISS trip.

@Eagle1Division2 Absolutely, it needs two layers of tin foil. Silly me !
-
@cjellwood I'd totally do that!
Well, if the high-speed wind wouldn't cause the potato payload to get ripped apart and peel off. Or the tin foil wouldn't melt.
And assuming the molten tin foil wouldn't hit the shuttle, then cause conduction to transfer heat instead of just radiation, which would cause the heat shield to fail, and the shuttle to break up... How about we not? xp
