    Aha. I posted this about three years ago.

    This air resistance will heat the reindeer in the same way that spaceships are heated up when they re-enter the earth's atmosphere. According to our calculations, the lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each.

    This means they will burst into spectacular, multicoloured flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them.

    uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"

    Raindeer aren't made by NASA so usually they don't blow up.

    Santa actually fires out shells (sleighs) from his M1820 Reindeers, which is of similar shape to a Howitzer. Capable of firing a shot to any precise chimney anywhere in the world, the Reindeer's sleighs are designed to dissolve instantly just splitseconds after landing. His Elves take care of the list, which he merely checks once (not twice, subject to belief) by taking random samples from the list and personally investigating.

    Santa did, however, originally do things using the traditional reindeer and sleigh (on ground) however as demand increased he had to employ assistants (the pre-mentioned Elves as well as the United States Postal Service Pro Cycling Team, who, along with other contracted associates throughout the globe, deal to any area not reachable by the M1820 Reindeer's sleighs.
