Scott Manley | Can You Cook a Turkey by Dropping It From Space? @scottmanley | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 day ago
I did the math!
It doesn't work to drop it straight down, but if you put a suitably sized 'oven' spacecraft into a 160km orbit and let it warm up, cook the turkey then deploy decelerators then we can probably get a large turkey properly cooked and ideally delivered to the target

Spreadsheet with numbers!
