Good example. Melting T of iron is 1500 C. If there is any iron in the lander, it should have melted. Have you seen the vape and the truck vid? The 1500 C air comes around the shield .
"If there is any iron in the lander, it should have melted."
Why? Heat is at the shield. For example ceramic brick, one end +1300 C, you can hold it at the other end 5 cm away
