trust me, bro:

here is the receipt.

the claim

The Space Shuttle could shed kinetic energy by bouncing off the atmosphere

the verdict

SUPPORTED

the evidence backs this

confidence 79/100

Vehicles like the Space Shuttle can perform skip re-entry maneuvers, effectively bouncing off the upper layers of the atmosphere to dissipate kinetic energy and alter their flight range.
