Feel the burn with this amazing video of a Varda room capsule that falls through the earth's atmosphere

A private capsule from a small room has recorded breathtaking scenes on board from the atmospheric re -entry at high speed.

Varda Space's W-2 mission came to a successful and spectacular end on February 27th when the capsule came back into the atmosphere and ended up in the Koonibba test area in South Australia.

The 265-pound capsule (120 kilograms) spent six weeks in space after starting a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of the Mission of the Transporter 12.
