Description

Since the descriptions of the Mk1 and Mk2 lander cans make it clear that they're only meant for non-atmospheric landings, it would be nice if this would be reflected in actual gameplay.

I did a test and the Mk2 can survived a perpendicular entry into Kerbin's atmosphere at 14760 m/s. I don't think this is intended.

Here's an album of the test.
