When I went to malaysia last summer, and we were flying at normal cruise-
altitude (whatever that is) And the temperature was somewhere between -40 and -
50 celsius, if I'm not mistaken. I believe that was what the pilot told us. 
Anyways, a person in a suit exposed to temperatures like that would probably 
catch a cold. And die of hypothermia shortly after.
