Time to stop remarking about how unearthly cold it is outside because on Thursday, Mars was actually warmer than many parts of the U.S.

The daytime high in the red planet's Gale Crater, as recorded by NASA's curiosity Rover, was 17.6 degrees F - a whopping 11 degrees warmer than the 6-degree high in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Temperatures in fourteen states from Washington to Maine reported temperatures colder than Mars, as a brutal blast of Arctic air sweeps the country.

Send Al Gore to take care of all that dangerous greenhouse effect on MARS.

Wintertime on Mars, or on part of Mars?

Interesting!!!

[onyx]

-144 F over night, is just too damn cold.

Rock Hudson dressed lightly and did OK on Mars back in the late 70s.

No commies on Mars either

No commies on Mars either

That's just your assumption. Are you sure they didn't exile them, dumping their mentally insane and perverted commie's on us?

[ASA Vet]

Damn, on second reading, I concede you're point. They no longer have commies on Mars. They sent them here.

[ASA Vet]

And now I'll self grammar police my last. 'Your' not the contraction for you are. Need MORE coffee.

I think the lack of oxygen on Mars may have been what caused Rock Hudson to turn gay.../s

[wally_bert]

Or too much time underwater and all that ice and snow up at Zebra could have messed with his mind too.

Some parts of Mars are warmer than some parts of Earth. Some parts of Earth are warmer than some parts of Mars. Conclusion: none.

Probably one of our greatest actors, considering all those love scenes.

He really had to act !

[real saxophonist]

Get your ass to Mars.

The best way to colonize Mars is to first send in tunneling robots, so that people will eventually have a place to stay, and can spend some time there. Then over several hundred years, we fill warmed caverns with carbonated water, then extremophile Archaea, to cause methanogenesis, releasing vast amounts of methane into the Martian atmosphere.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, so after a few hundred years of production, the temperature of Mars should start going up.

Rock was definitely a great actor, I completely agree.

This is a little deceiving, of course. The temperature on the surface of Mars is one thing. The temperature 2 meters above the surface of Mars might be a full 50 degrees colder. This means while your toes may be warm, your face certainly isn't.
