Albums
gollark: If you were at the centre of the moon or something, that would probably work somewhat as thermal shielding just because of how big those things are, so it would at least take a while for enough heat to reach you that it'd be a problem.
gollark: I wonder if you could somehow "skim" through the upper layers of the sun with a ridiculously large amount of mass to ablate and probably some stupidly high velocity.
gollark: A crater, probably, depending on how large it is.
gollark: The earth is large, and quite solid.
gollark: I doubt it.
