Hegseth Brings His Nomination Back from the Brink
Team Trump liked his defiance. They love that he’s a “heatshield” for other controversial nominees.

If you aren't watching the return of Artemis II, I completely understand. I'm watching, but I'm nervous about the heatshield.
On Artemis I, it had problems, so they made changes to the flight path, but it's the same heat shield. I won't feel secure until they are on the ground.

They’re sending me up in a rocketship into space to deal with the problems that we’re having up there. I’m not expected to return and I’ll burn up on re-entry, allowing me to achieve my wish of becoming a projectile

A Dragon capsule without its aeroshell or heatshield. Perhaps it could operate like this, with a minimal covering to serve as thermal and MMOD protection.

Sulis 1: my design for crewed solar exploration vessel based on the astrology symbol for the sun. At the front of the ship is a massive sunshield, which protects the spinning habitat ring for the crew.

Reasonable to be concerned about the heatshield. But the capsule is more similar in its design to the Apollo spacecraft than the shuttle. Less surface area. Not reusable. Apollo 13 got back to earth with a damaged heatshield despite a too-shallow re-entry that cooked it twice as long as planned.
“The Artemis II heat shield, NASA agrees, is flawed. …
If the shield fails, the underlying metallic structure could melt, rupture and disintegrate.
And there is no backup, and no way for the astronauts to escape.”
