This is to the sci-fi junkies and the astrophysicists. I don't necessarily want to hear about the "cold" and the "lack of oxygen." Who here can truly tell me what it would be like, physiologically, to be dumped into the vacuum of space? "Event Horizon" showed one instance - which I mostly disbelieve - and Total Recall showed a human on Mars - which I COMPLETELY disbelieve. What is the truth? What would it look like/feel like/be if I were suddenly forced out of an airlock into deep space?

Considering the blood-boiling effects, assuming you maintained consciousness long enough, it would feel like your skin was burning from the inside, and tearing apart as the bloating progresses. You would feel tremendous pressure and pain in your head, your eyes would rapidly freeze over, and the sensation of not being able to pull any air into your lungs would create a severe panic reaction. Imagine someone giving your entire body a hickey so powerful that it would break the skin in places. It would probably feel like hot sand was crawling under your skin, After about 30 seconds, you would black out, and that would be it.

nicely, ..., regrettably sure. contained in the 60's there replaced right into a negative twist of destiny in a Russia pill the position all the oxygen vented into area formerly that is contained and yet another the position a Cosmonaut floated remote from the pill. contained in the U. S. we lost an total vacation on reentry many years in the past. There have also been different deaths on the PAD, for the duration of ascent and respectable to boot for both the U. S. and Russia. See the link below for a itemizing of incidents.

similar to going deep sea diving without the equipment,pressure would be like a mountain on top of you,other than that u may as well equate it to being alone forever on a desert island with no real hope of ever getting off it.

My guess is that the vaccum outside and the gases inside our body would cause the body to bloat and tear apart. But I don't think we would know most of it, as the loss of consciousness would be instantaneous.

I Imagine that the body would expand and explode before the cold really sinks in...

ive thought about this before, you will just keep going all alone until you die from starvation, unless you have provisions, you will not be alove long enough for the psychological effects to set in
