Reentry-turkey

If one drops a frozen turkey from a table, it hits the floor. If one instead drops it from space, it burns up in the atmosphere. Thus, there should be one altitude in between from which you can drop it for it to be done when it comes down.

I realize that it's probably going to go black on the outside and still stay frozen on the inside. How can you deal with this? I will accept leaving it for some time after the fall to allow the heat to distribute properly, I will also accept some or a lot of the outside to burn up if the centre is cooked, burned turkey can be removed but I've heard bad things about uncooked bird.

How does this change with the stuffing? Will it help a lot to thaw it?

Drink the juice fast!

For years I’ve been told to drink the orange juice as fast as I could, or even in one go since it is commonly accepted that its properties spoil soon after the oranges had been squished. How fast is this process of degradation? How long should I wait to drink the juice? Is it an oxidation process?

How do waterfalls freeze?

After visiting Iceland last year you could see frozen waterfalls coming down from the cliffs? How do these freeze since surely they have too much kinetic energy?
