Yeah but if you plugged everything up wouldn't you only feel the burn on your exposed skin? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> You wanna talk some jive? I'll talk some jive. I'll talk some jive like you've never heard! </div>

Posted by brandbll</DIV> I will concede for the few milliseconds you hold together before the inevitable explosion, you would experience some skin discomfort, and then a (brief) wave of searing pain as you detonate. <img src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-surprised.gif" border="0" alt="Surprised" title="Surprised" />     <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!So many people, so few recipes !!Let's clean up this stinkhole !! </div>

BTW: I don't consider your question 'weird'.  While I might not see exploded corpses every day, it is not exactly an unheard of phenomena in these parts . . .     <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!So many people, so few recipes !!Let's clean up this stinkhole !! </div>

Posted by brandbll</DIV> You are concentrating on temperature and ignoring the fact that as far as your body is concerned, you would be placing it in a vacuum.  Yes, there is an atmosphere on Mars, but it is so thin that the effect on your body would be pretty much the same as stepping out into the vacuum of space.  Only the temperature conditions are different. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Replying to: <DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'> At the risk of being indelicate, in the case of a sudden exposure to ambient Martian conditions, I suspect the flatus problem will be quite painful. In hydraulics and pneumatics, flow rate across an orifice is proportional to the pressure difference.  On earth, I suspect even a 1psi increase over ambient would be very unusual (Roseanne??  Limbaugh??).  On Mars, the flow rate would be essentially the same as 'venting' into vacuum.  The 'venturi' effect might accelerate the flow to near sonic velocity !! The sudden pressure drop on the escaping gases might also induce condensation for the entrained moisture.  The possibility of flash freezing is a possibility too. The abrasive properties of solid ice crystals accelerated to near sonic velocity in close proximity to such delicate tissues is too dreadful to contemplate.      Posted by vogon13</DIV> This has to be one of the greatest things I've ever read here! haha <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Super sonic farts, only at Spacedotcom. One of the sad things about farting into a vacuum is folks in the immediate vicinity won't hear anything, regardless of the violence of the emission.   <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!So many people, so few recipes !!Let's clean up this stinkhole !! </div>

In space, no one can hear you fart . . . .     <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!So many people, so few recipes !!Let's clean up this stinkhole !! </div>

Replying to: <DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>I think i've asked this first question before, but i searched for it and couldn't find it.  Let's say we had a spacecraft with humans on the warmest part of Mars from which i read on wiki gets up to about 70 degrees f.  If you wanted to, could you just run outside while holding your breath and then run back inside to get your breath without experiencing any real damaging effects?  My second question is, what would climate feel like on Mars on the human skin.  If it was 68 degrees, would it feel like 68 degrees or would it feel hotter or warmer.  For instance, in Minnesota, when it's 80 degrees with a very high humidity, it feels much hotter than what it actually is.  So am i right in assuming a 70 degree temp on Mars would feel much colder than just a regular 70 degree day here on Earth? Posted by brandbll</DIV>70 degrees with no humidity is how it would feel. I've never been to the desert, so I can't tell you exactly, but for me, 70 degrees in my house in winter (I actually keep the thermostat at 67) is fairly comfortable with clothes on like a pair os sweats and a henley.  <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "2012..
