"Amid concerns about the spacecraft’s heat shield, NASA plans to use a more direct reentry trajectory to reduce the duration of exposure to the extreme temperatures encountered during reentry."

What? How does that make sense? Wouldn't "more direct" mean faster heating from higher speed at denser atmosphere? Or does it help by burning off the surface before lower layers can heat up?
