Yeah. Just on the leading edges. Thats where the heat 'wake' impacts. The rest of the craft probably stays at a balmy eleventy-jillion degrees... but since its moving at eleventy-jillion miles per hour... the wind chill factors out to roughly 100 or so... give or take a few thousand for humidity.

Whenever I see something like that I think of an episode from "The Beverly Hillbillies" where Granny is counting something (don't remember what now) and when she gets to "eleventy-leven" Mr. Drysdale asks, rather snidely, "Granny, what comes after elventy-leven?" She looks at him like he's a complete moron and says with conviction, "Eleventy-twelve."

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some cipherin' to do.
