I would not have believed it in a Sci-Fi movie. Having the heatshield failed on the flap for most of the descent, seing the flap burning in flame and still managing to land softly after that !

What kind of plot armor is that ?

It is incredible that the ship survived that and really shows the kind of resilience starship has !
