You can disembark on planets hotter than 800 K now

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but you can disembark on planets with temperatures higher than 800K now. It used to be that the button was greyed out. Now it is orange and selectable, and "UNSAFE TEMPERATURES" is in red. If you disembark you'll take damage and will survive for about a minute, but that's plenty of time to get first footfall.

Perhaps we should honor the members of the 300 Club from Ancient Earth by making it a habit to circle our ship once before reentering if the temperature exceeds the suit limits. 😉 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300_Club

"Participants in the Antarctic 300 Club wait for a winter day when the temperature drops to −100 °F (-73 °C). This can happen in April to September. Because such cold temperatures may last only minutes, interested parties have to prepare in advance and be ready to act quickly. 300 Club participants spend up to 10 minutes in a sauna heated to 200 °F (93 °C). Then they quickly walk naked to the Ceremonial South Pole wearing only boots. They walk around the marker and return to the station. Participants want to move fast enough to minimize frostbite but not so fast that they inhale so much cold air that they freeze their airway and lungs. Properly clothed bystanders are often present to provide help if needed. After this, participants usually warm up in the sauna again, often with the aid of alcoholic beverages."

"With an outside temperature of −27 °F (−33 °C), three men heated their backyard sauna to 280 °F (138 °C) and sat inside for 10 minutes. Upon exiting the sauna, they sprinted around a flagpole planted in honor of the South Pole tradition and took a brief roll in the snow before returning to the sauna."
Better not do that with Cutter :D
