The guy: On the outside of the thermal shield it is 1500 degrees, and on the other side it is just about room temperature. What is he smoking? @_opreturn
Lol, do you not own an oven? You need some videos of dudes pouring cast iron? Go take high school physics and get back to us.
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
