In the first 30 seconds any fluid on the surface of your body would begin to boil due to lack of ambient pressure, this includes the saliva on your tongue and the moisture in your eyes. Your eardrums would most likely burst due to the pressure in your body trying to equalize with the vacuum outside. Unlike what some science fiction films have suggested, your body would not explode. After the first 15 seconds you would lose consciousness. If you held your breath you could potentially stay alive longer but you risk pulmonary trauma. If you didn't hold your breath you'd pass out sooner, but your lungs might have a better chance of avoiding permanent damage. The pressure in your veins would rise until your heart no longer had the capacity to pump blood, at which point you'd die. "

Chuck Norris doesn't use this program, The vacuum of space has to use a program to see how long it could survive him!




Ever notice how most Chuck Norris jokes are basically yakov smirnoff jokes?

event horizon did it

6/12/2008 2:20:21 PM

6/12/2008 2:23:22 PM

i really liked that movie but it seems like no one else does

6/12/2008 2:25:50 PM

I liked it a lot.
It use to scare the hell out of me though!

6/12/2008 2:27:10 PM

basically you would implode, all this jibber jabber only amounts to this in essence

6/12/2008 2:27:32 PM

Event Horizon was pretty good I thought......granted, they weren't actually in space I don't think . They were technically high in Neptune's atmosphere..........at least thats what I thought the last time I saw it a long time ago.

6/12/2008 2:34:34 PM

In Total Recall they weren't in a vacuum though, they were on the Martian surface.

which is pretty close to a vacuum as far as humans are concerned!

if the planet doesn't have an atmosphere, so to speak, such as mars because so organic compounds has altered its (non)atmosphere, it would crush a human.

I don't know too much about Mars, but is the atmosphere there really that thin?

^reading that it seems we could basically fix the atmosphere to be breathable by planting some trees and giving them some fertilizer and water for a few years...
