YES! This is what I wanted! thank you squad! (re-entry heating and parachutes)

I'll say it right now, there is more difference between 1.02 and 1.00 than there was between .90 and 1.0 I don't know what they where thinking when they released 1.0 but they more than made up for it with 1.02. THIS IS THE GAME I WANTED!! that sick feeling that my first 1.0 re-entry gave me is gone with my first 1.02 re-entry.

Pop the chute going 2kms? instantly destroyed. Wait another minute and watch the speed fall to 300ms? pop the chute and enjoy an new slow opening with no insane G forces.

Thank you guys, you listened and you fixed it, and you did it in just a few days.

For all the people who where asking why people where so critical of 1.0 this is the answer, because it wasn't right. 1.02 however is what I was expecting.

Now that chutes can burn off or get ripped off, one had better use a probe core for parachute testing contracts. And, reentry heating is back to a more normal time period, so the atmosphere density at different altitudes seems more balanced.
