I thought you needed "de" between the adjective and the infinitive to get this meaning. From my research, "Es + adjective + de + infinitive" is "It is [adjective] to [verb] and "Es + adjective + infinitive" is "[Verb]ing is [adjective]. On a prior lesson in this module "Es imposible de saber" was the correct answer.
Both are possible. http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=211005 provides a great explanation if you can understand Spanish well enough. Basically, it depends on where the complement is placed. Consider the "es imposible de saber" example. The hidden (algo) is the compliment, so "(algo) es imposible de saber" is correct as well as "es imposible saber (algo)."

I had a total brain fart and typed, 'Today is is impossible to go out.' Also, welcome to Lotus Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas! (Percy Jackson fans will get this.
Some verbs have built in prepositions. "salir" = "to go out". I assume an "a" would be redundant here. http://www.cliffsnotes.com/foreign-languages/spanish/spanish-i/prepositions/preposition-use-with-verbs

"It's imposible to go out now" means exactly the same thing as "Now it is impossible to go out."

Yes,,, my question exactly, as this was a listening lesson for me. The sh sound was there instead of the R as in salir, That happens a lot in the slower paced presentations.
