Jay, did you know that it could be hot on the moon? I... No, I didn't know it could be hot on the moon. I thought it was, like, permanently super cold. That was my thought, too. like I don't know what I thought the astronauts, like, outfits were doing, or if when we went to the moon, like, it was maybe like a, like a climate thing, you know, like, like the moon's winter or something. |
| 1:23.4 | But I just assumed that the thickness of it was to keep them, like, partially warm. Is that that not that's not it? Well, I don't even know that that's not it. All I know is that apparently it can get as hot as 250 degrees Fahrenheit or I guess in Celsius, it's 121 degrees Celsius. So like, I was just like, what? It could be hot on the moon. Why are we not talking about this more? |
