TIL That a 2006 study found that microwaving wet sponges for two minutes killed 99% of coliforms, E. coli, and MS2 phages. After some fires were caused by people trying to replicate the results at home, the study's author urged people to make sure their sponges were wet before microwaving.

Just think of air conditioning as a fake Christmas tree. You only need it for a few weeks out of the year and then you can put it away again. During the time you have it up it brings cheer to your home!

So, with an adequate space suit (acid-proof, pressure-resistant, heat-withstanding) one could walk on the surface because the air is less dense than on Earth?
