That should work IMO. A 'stiffer' suit, would mean the wearer would have to work harder<br />to move in a low gee environment. Whilst that will help keep the muscles strong, <br />not sure though if it would help with Calcium loss from the bones.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

Then we will have to replace all our bones with a titanium alloy. With lead as a filler. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="color:#ff9900" class="Apple-style-span">-pyoko</span> <span style="color:#333333" class="Apple-style-span">the</span> <span style="color:#339966" class="Apple-style-span">duck </span></p><p><span style="color:#339966" class="Apple-style-span"><span style="color:#808080;font-style:italic" class="Apple-style-span">It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.</span></span></p> </div>

-290.2F = 179.5C<br /><br />The coldest ever recorded on earth was -129F. Over half that temperature. <br /><br />Even at -70F, with the warmest heated cold-weather gear, working outside the structures is limited to about 10-15mins tops.<br /><br />You're talking something like four TIMES as cold.<br /><br />That's more than "really warm clothes"... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>.</p><p><font size="3">bipartisan</font>  (<span style="color:blue" class="pointer"><span class="pron"><font face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size="2">bī-pär'tĭ-zən, -sən</font></span></span>) [Adj.]  Maintaining the ability to blame republications when your stimulus plan proves to be a devastating failure.</p><p><strong><font color="#ff0000"><font color="#ff0000">IMPE</font><font color="#c0c0c0">ACH</font> <font color="#0000ff"><font color="#c0c0c0">O</font>BAMA</font>!</font></strong></p> </div>

That's is most true Adrenalynn.<br /><br />I do not think that some people quite appreciate how cold Titan actually is.<br /><br />That figure is only just above liquid Oxygen (-182 C) & really not too far above liquid <br />Nitrogen (-195 C). <br /><br />The temperature on Titan @ dawn, is -183 C with the afternoon temperature soaring to -179 C. <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br /><br />BTW @ the tropopause some 40 KM above Titan's surface, Huygens recorded a <br />seriously cold -212 C, the coldest atmosphere, yet directly sampled by <br />manmade instruments, then steadily rose to -180 C on the surface.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

Yup. You're looking at something akin to Cryogenic Freezing. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>.</p><p><font size="3">bipartisan</font>  (<span style="color:blue" class="pointer"><span class="pron"><font face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size="2">bī-pär'tĭ-zən, -sən</font></span></span>) [Adj.]  Maintaining the ability to blame republications when your stimulus plan proves to be a devastating failure.</p><p><strong><font color="#ff0000"><font color="#ff0000">IMPE</font><font color="#c0c0c0">ACH</font> <font color="#0000ff"><font color="#c0c0c0">O</font>BAMA</font>!</font></strong></p> </div>
