      First death is friction heat as you enter the atmosphere. Avoid it with a heat resistant vehicle or suit.

      Next death is from extreme vibrations from the turbulence caused by supersonic winds. Avoid it with an aerodynamic and strong vehicle body that can withstand and stabilize in incredibly high winds.

      Next death is lack of oxygen. But you probably have some oxygen system on that vehicle anyway just to get there.

      Next is the freezing temperatures, around -145 C. Ok add some heating to your craft.

      Next is the crushing pressure, passing 1000x earth’s atmospheric pressure and it just gets higher from there. Hope you didn’t use carbon fibre for your vehicle’s main structural integrity!

      Then, if you’re not crushed anyways despite whatever you used to mitigate the previous one failing, there’s extreme heat to deal with again, just more of it this time. No known substance can withstand the heat, especially considering the pressure is still just increasing.

      Further down is the metallic hydrogen layer. Assuming you haven’t already been converted to plasma, you probably will at this point.

      And further down is the core that includes “rock” but I use the term pretty loosely.

      Some of your atoms might eventually make it there but will likely spend a long time just blowing around in the atmosphere after they were vaporized.
