wtf?? I thought Saunaing is supposed to be healthy, but it seems like we can make an extreme sport out of everything... :lol:

Yeah... 110°C... That's madness... On the other side, if one day we need explorers on Venus, we know where to find them !

I once read about a health experiment of some sort conducted in a Finland. People were exposured to very cold and dry air. It was very much like the sauna expect that there were about -150C. (I dont remember the exact temperature but it was well below -100C). Someone might consider that crazy. It seems to be not as leathal as someone might think.

This lends some credibility to the theory that the sauna was originally invented by russians as a torture device. :tiphat:

And they are doing this in summer.

In traditionnal russian sauna, you have to run out and roll yourself naked in the snow by -30°C. I'm not kidding !

This could be included in Astronaut training.

With this you can turn off life support systems in ISS and save energy :lol:

lol. I'm pretty sure that Gagarin, Titov, Leonov and the others of the "old guard" were practicing these kind of things. No wonder why cosmonauts have an extreme endurance :lol:.

From the medical point of view, if your heart can survive than, then it should survive a space mission :p

There's something totally wrong in contesting about who's the longest sitter in sauna and overall considering it a hostile environment. Sauna (or Russian steam bath) is a place for cleanness, health restoration, relaxation and rest. If you like it, it can provide you some adrenaline, but you should never impose any ideas of your superiority (bodily or socially) on others, when you are in sauna. Everyone goes naked there, so everyone is equal. Enjoy some classical and modern art... ;)
