This is interesting, why would one freeze to death in that 6 million
degree atmosphere? Is it a REALLY DRY heat? ;) Is it because the
atoms/ions in that atmostphere, though they may be highly energetic, at
a 6 million degree level, they are so thin (a near vacuum) that it means
more as ionizing radiation than as heat?
