Cold is Hot

The other night is was minus 19 degrees out in this God forsakin' land I live in. But that doesn't stand a chance against outer space.

The temperature in outer space is a balmy minus 454 degrees! Yeah ... not only cold enough to make your balls suck up into your body, but your balls would just plain fall off.

Minus 459 degrees is absolute zero. It cannot get any colder than that by laws of science. So the universe is a mere 5 degrees away from that. Hell, the dark side of the moon is minus 260 degrees.

I don't get how anything works at those temps? How do satellites move their intricate little parts? How does the space shuttle function? How is the Hubble able to adjust it's solar panels with it's little electric motors in that type of temperature?

It's hard to imagine the incredible coldness of outer space while laying on your back in the yard on a nice warm summer night. You just look out and see darkness, and total peace and comfort. But in reality, the universe in one outrageously cold, and extremely violent place.

So next time you get a chill because there's is a little nip in the air, 'Shut Your Piehole' because there are people living in planet Querletarizarbary that are freezing to death!
