A astronomy cast, episode 472, modern sci-fi for the science lover, part 4, biopunk.

Welcome to Astronomy Cast, weekly facts based journey through the Cosmos, where we'll

be able to understand not only what we know, but how we know what we know.

My name is Fraser Cain, I'm the publisher of the universe today, with me is Dr. Pamela

Gay, the director of technology and citizen science at the Astronomical Society of the Pacific,

and the director of Cosm request.

Hey Pamela, how you doing?

I'm cold!

Yeah, I've been reading it.

I'm not sure if it was as cold for you, but apparently once again in Winnipeg it was

colder than Mars, so I don't know if it's, but it's closing in on being as cold as Mars.

I need to look up what the temperature on Mars is now.

Well, it depends where, you know, in this, at the equator in the summer, should be fine.

I'm for a shirt at Mars Curiosity.

You're going to get a whole bunch of new stories I'm guessing.

Oh, it's not telling me.

So yeah, I mean, my guess is it's currently warmer on Mars than it is here as well.

It's so cold.

It's so cold.

Like without the windshield, it's minus three, and it's super windy, so it's minus 24

with the wind shell.

And that's in Celsius, folks.
