In the space business – heat is a problem. Too much heat on space crafts and rovers, and components will crack, break down, or even make batteries explode. It’s why spacecrafts are regularly equipped with heat shields. Too little heat in space, and electronic components won’t work in the frigid cold.

Morales, who holds dual U.S.-Guatemalan citizenship, ran the event in 2:08.17 in March at the Raleigh Relays in North Carolina, an early-season collegiate outdoor track and field meet.
