Can you survive in space without a spacesuit?
Guardians of the Galaxy has re-ignited the age-old question. Or this slightly different question, asked by Adam Frank, how do you die in space? Here’s some answers.
You know the answer to the question “what happens in space if you aren’t wearing a spacesuit” is going to be “very bad things”, but just what those bad things are is the interesting part.
Also, hi Eric!
(that’s my friend Eric in the video)
I think we’ve learned a valuable lesson today: if you are about to be exposed to vacuum, expel as much of the air in your lungs as possible.
(“Don’t be exposed to vacuum at all” is also a valuable lesson, but I feel confident we all knew that one already.)
