Would everyone involved in this discussion please read the following wikipedia articles before proceeding:
Scalar (Physics)
Vector (spatial)
Astrodynamics
This website also has good information on a variety of first/second year physics topics - It got me through AP Physics and two semesters of university physics (wouldn't take my 5 on the B exam for EE as a major  ).
If anyone is interested in a simulation with realistic spaceflight, take a look at Orbiter.

P.S. Be wary of Wikipedia and scientific topic. There's often a lot of error. ;)
Articles involving calculus based concepts are generally accurate, and don't seem to change that much. But anyone that doesn't trust wikipedia can instead put their faith in the Georgia State University....

More on topic: If CCP allows player control of fighters, we better be able to do a Thanatos belly flop fighter launch.

thing is even an EVE cruiser is too big to reenter without probally breaking up. most scifi anything bigger then a jumbo jet has surface to space shuttles on board.
If you throw enough thrust in opposition to your forward motion, and opposing gravity, you could just waltz down into the atmosphere without much heating due to friction.
Since our spaceships operate on magic anyways, this is perfectly reasonable.

Uncontrolled no size craft will survive the physical pounding you will recieve no matter how strong your shields are they would fail.
Controlled is another story.
Unless you're in a general products hull.
