By "not even close", I assume that you mean that we are distant because we passed that point days ago.

Not even close.

Helium, 5.2 J/g/K
Hydrogen, 14.3 J/g/K
That innocent-looking "per gram" conceals a really important practical issue. A gram of water, or of ammonia pressurized into the liquid phase, is spectacularly more compact than a gram of hydrogen or helium. A heat sink big enough to contact a gram of hydrogen would be much less convenient.
Now, if Momo is air cooled by default, she may have heat sinks mounted directly on electronic components, in which case her waterproofing would have to seal her air vents and not let water contact the heat sinks, and then we'd be back to the overheating problem.
Are we overanalyzing yet?

That's assuming that her internal components aren't already waterproof by design to prevent arcing from incidental water contact. She may not even have a classic circuit board as we know it in that entire chassis as far as we know.

Grandparents on one side of the family.
