So here's a question: if the packs somehow protect users from the heat of reentry (as is clearly implied in Reach), then why do ODSTs use drop pods? Why can't they just use reentry packs?
I'm probably over-thinking all that, but meh. In the end, the reentry pack thing is just a very poor explanation by Bungie as to how Six survived. They weren't thinking about how ridiculous that concept really is, since most people aren't seriously into the Halo canon. They knew only a select few players would really care.
If Six had commandeered a Covenant drop pod (they're frequently seen in the games) from the ship, that would have made a lot more sense, and wouldn't have butchered canon. Then again, that wouldn't have made quite such a dramatic, hollywoodized cutscene ending for the mission.
