Well, it did. They mentioned burning as they re-entered. Obviously that would have been more severe with our technology, but I’m willing to grant slight leeway for the possibility that spacecraft may well become more advanced over the next several centuries. 
next up in iTunes is Meow Marmalade, which I like to imagine as a Jones anthem 
But there’s always burning on re-entry. I was thinking more along the lines that there were people in the-cargo bay-with-a-hole-in-it.
Ok, one person and one synthetic.
Um, right, one synthetic and one who-the-hell-knows-what-Ripley-is.
Yeah, ok, I can see it now.
and so we bid farewell to the Alien franchise. it was a fun ride
I enjoyed it! It was all new to me.
