Nice, note that the landing can is not supposed to be used during reentry, they are tin cans designed to operate in vacuum, to reenter with them is to use an tiny city car in an hard offroad track designed to tanks :)
 

Alright thanks!:D

Just to show that using a Mk1 Lander can is possible, if not a great idea, I recorded myself returning from the Mun in a Mk1 Lander Can. Entry speed is 3150 km/s with an apoasis of 34km. Vessel lost non-critical parts due to heating, but survived and landed safely. Atmospheric entry starts around 2:40.
