If methane vapors are brought into the cavity between the inner outer skins and are discharged through the holes to meet the incident flow, a surface layer is created. The flow will interact with the layer, not with the skin. Protection of the Starship hopper guaranteed

Rocket booster temperatures won’t go much above 600 Kelvin on hottest parts of main body & maybe around 1200K on base, which uncooled steel can handle. Starship is around 1700K for a Mach 25 entry, so needs shielding of some kind.
