    I’m reading that it orbited at an altitude of up to 263 km, well above the Karman line. Is that not space?

      Well that’s debatable but really the point is it never did a re-entry so we really don’t know how reusable it would have been.

        If it didn’t do a reentry, how did it get down from that altitude?

          By landing?

          Reentry doesn’t mean flying downwards it means actually coming in at a high enough speed to generate heating. Otherwise it’s just falling.

            I’m pretty sure any reentry from orbit is going to involve high enough speeds to generate heating.
