The APV does its descent burn, and begins falling through the atmosphere… faster and faster… until Mission Control notices a critical problem.

The ACV falls into the mountains west of the Space Center at terminal velocities… the entire vehicle is utterly destroyed!  Thankfully crewed missions are reviewed more carefully!  Construction begins at once on a new APV!
