Default Re: OT: Heating Space

Ok, this is what would happen, minus all the suffocating.

The side facing the sun will heat up, and the side facing deep space will radiate heat, your mission if you wish to accept it, is to move closer to the sun so that the middle part of your body is a normal 98.6 f. But I will not speculate the temperature of the part of your body that is on the sun side or the deep space side.

Reading about refining metals in space, the vacuum is a large help, they can have extreme temperature ranges with in a few feet. Of course Halliburton has yet to build their space exploiting space mill.
