I think we're not seeing much of the hole because of the bedrock so close to the surface. There's probably just a few inches of soil and blueberries, that's pretty much it. The heatshield was fairly light, and when it hit the ground looks like the aluminum foil insert broke away from the rest... Sort of like tossing a pie plate to a concrete covered by a thin layer of sand...
That's a bit different from the Genesis crash, which landed into a fairly soft soil (mud). |
