I was just watching the episode Conflict and was wondering if the references
to reentry angle are bloopers. Freeman mentions the spacecraft's reentry
angle is too shallow. At this point, I think the entry angle was something
like 7 degrees, Colonel Freeman tells Foster to cut back to 5 degrees.

I assume the lower the value, the shallower the reentry angle is. To me it
is like the grade percentage of a road. If the grade is 5%, it isn't as
steep as a road with a 7% grade.

Does anybody know if this is a blooper, or if the terminology used in the
episode was correct?
