I'm just left with a cascade of Questions. To name one, why were the legs coated in foil? The foil is supposedly for retaining heat, But the legs are connected by a choke off point at the bolt where it narrows off. Simply owning a PC with a heat sink will tell you, that thermals don't conduct that far out. And this is in a low, or no atmospherics environment, were heat can only be lost through radiation? And then they were sitting on the thruster in the middle of the capsule? You would want an absorbing color on the exterior, and reflective only on the inside, wouldn't you?
