@maneshjay@DJSnM@dominickmatthew@NASAAmes I think it's to reduce the contact area, and thus the heat transfer into your finger. It does cool faster there, but it should pretty much be the same temp at the start.
And all of it is very hot, it just came out of the furnace.
@JaroslavHonzik If he is at fault, 5 seconds is fine. The penalty is based on what he did (go slightly wider than he should, and cause a small contact), not the outcome (Russell out).
I think it was racing incident though, and shouldn't be a penalty for anyone.
@EcchiBunny@DJSnM The stealth part...
It's stealthy to 1960s era radar I guess. It's not stealthy in the modern sense, when other sensors and better radars are in play. Not least because of the gigantic heat signature two afterburners cause.
@DarthPutinKGB No-no. Let them continue their logic. There is air defense all over Moscow, so everything in Moscow is a legitimate military target as well.
@daviskens@DJSnM On the equator it does. But near the poles and accounting for elevation it's a lot more complicated. You can find permanently shadowed craters too.
