[meteorite-list] Stardust SRC Hot to the touch?

[Chris Peterson]

LOL.

I was kind of thinking along those same lines. But to be fair, certification 
programs like UL, TÜV, and CSA normally treat 42°C (108°F) as the maximum 
allowable temperature most devices are allowed to reach without concern for 
tissue damage. To be compliant with industrial safety standards, NASA really 
does need to require its employees to wear gloves when handling 60°C objects 
(and that is uncomfortably warm to those who don't spend their days washing 
dishes).
