My question is if you watch the intro where you die you are heading into the atmosphere of the planet so how did you not burn up I would assume if you fell and went through an atmosphere you there would be nothing left of you

take all the heat shielding on the shuttle

Space magic. Actually, perhaps Shepard just ended up in low orbit or something. Can a scientist of some acclaim show up to help us?

Whenever there are questionable events, just say a wizard did it.

I used to be an astronomy major before switching to English, so I can help!

Technically, a body doesn't have enough mass to fall planetside unless it is traveling at a high enough velocity. Shepard probably ended up in the lower thrawls of the stratosphere and floated around the gravity well of the planet for awhile.

I believe it's handwaved somewhere with a casual mention that the N7 armor is just THAT good. Notice that the helmet you recover from the Normandy crash site, though beat up a little bit, is still completely intact and doesn't seem to have that much in the way of burn marks on it.

That's the beauty of the beginning it shows him dying and then shows him resurrected. Bioware left the rest entirely to your imagination with the exception that they gave a few hints as to what happened. Shepard died, was recovered by Cerberus, Project Lazarus brought him back to life. The rest you decide for yourself how it happened.

He wasn't going fast enough to burn up. The space shuttle is going like 24000 miles per second upon reentry, that's why it has that halo of flames. Shepard was only going as fast as terminal velocity for that planet, which isn't fast enough to burn up. Last I checked, skydivers don't burn up.

Well, we all know, that somewhere in there, he ascended to godhood.

they did not leave it to your imagination as lemonwizard said you pick up the helmet on the planet you were wearing it as you died so if that made it down your body did

So he met the Biotic God?

Skydivers also don't jump out of space shuttles orbiting a planet.......

Perhaps that planet did not have the kind of atmosphere that earth has? I assume that not all planet atmospheres are created equal though I did think the same thing as the original poster 1st time through.



I think they also kind of did a bit of a tribute to 2001 a space odyessy in that scene as Shepard thrashes around grabbing for his air line much like Frank Pool did when HAL killed him.

Very true, but my point stands.  His only propulsion was the force of the explosion on the normandy and the momentum of the normandy.  It wasn't orbiting the planet and he was blown in the opposite direction of the normandy.  Not enough speed to cause him to burn up.
