Oh

I honestly thought that because of its great speed it would be extremely powerful

It has great speed as it enters the atmosphere, and that's why things that re-enter from orbit burns up. But during that process it also slows down hella fast. Astronauts in space capsules* take 4-6 Gs of force during reentry. That is harder breaking than you have ever hit the breaks in your car by like 10 times. So they're slowing down by like 50 meters per second, every second, for a few minutes. That'll take you from 8000 m/s to under the speed of sound in 2 and a bit minutes.


And a big empty rocket will slow down even faster than an astronaut space capsule, in the same way that an empty beer can will fall a lot slower than a full bottle if you dropped it off a building. A rocket with no fuel is a giant empty beer can with some engines on the bottom.


* the shuttle did less than 2 G, because it could actually use the lift of being a plane to stay in the thinner upper atmosphere (thin = less friction, less force, less heat) for a lot longer than a capsule. landing in the shuttle was pretty comfy and more fun!

The spaceshuttle that crashed came in really fast too but the drag broke it apart and slowed it down so it just damaged things it hit directly. You need a large dense monolithic thing to preserve the energy all the way to impact.

It also pushed out all of the air in front of it so for a brief second there was a “tunnel” from space down to the surface. Also the impact was so powerful that debris and dinosaur bits definitely got blasted back into space.
