Sending my name to Mars is definitely the best way to visit. I was going to make a joke about some places in the U.S. approaching some of the temperatures of Mars, but I forget just how cold it is there on average.

Temperature on Earth:
Average 57 degrees F

Temperature on Mars:
Average -81 degrees F

I knew there were huge differences between daylight and night, but I didn't know the average was so chilly! That average temperature is about 160 degrees off from my comfortable temperature. The temperature in some areas there can get below -200F, but it can get to +70F near their Equator in the summer during the day. If it weren't for needing a space suit, you could wear shorts for a few hours!
