Dude I'm not willing to believe there's even any physics majors involved. I like how they spent five or six minutes talking about the magic vacuum pump that works in the regime they're absolutely never going to hit. After they spent five or six minutes talking about how mild steel outgasses which fucks you over when you're trying to draw a really hard vacuum so isn't it nice that they built everything out of mild steel because they totally never have to worry about a vacuum that hard. They just installed the pump as a conversation piece. I think if you put Adam and Jamie on this they'd probably call in an expert who would tell them to stop. ALUMINUM: 660 c SKIN TEMP OF THE SPRINT MISSILE, WHICH FORMED A PLASMA AT LAUNCH: 3,430 c Assume their lawn dart survives the hard luck of actually being released. Aluminum ignites at 2000c. The thing is a damn match the minute it hits air even if everything goes perfectly.
What is a nose cone with good heat conduction fixing? Making sure the inside cooks too, because they never made any mention of heat capacity or dissipation.
