lordy! David, what is the temp down there right now?

here in Ottawa, the wind chill has brought it down to about -40 celcius.

I think you're a little confused. It was -40 *Fahrenheit*.

nope, we don't talk in Fahrenheit degrees here in The Great White North.

minus 40.

Hopefully you've seen the other post that explained my joke. -40 F = -40 C, no matter where you are.

better than running on an empty stomach.

I dunno - I can imagine plenty of stomachs that I would rather run on 😉

You will need a pressured suit and oxygen tank to run on Mars. That can easily make you
weighting 200lb on Mars. Trails...There should be some good trails or you can make a few. The
real problem is the heat build-up and sweating. I doubt that your suit is able to keep up for
extended period.

If it's so cold on Mars, why would heat build-up be a problem?

--Harold Buck

Because the air is so thin on Mars that it hardly brings any heat away.

So in deep space, where there's no air at all, you wouldn't have to worry about heat loss at all,
right? :-)
