Blood is in fact blue until it meets oxygen which in theory would mean even in space due to having an oxygen tank would mean it would still be read and most likely still scab to reddy brown, however if you could be in space and live for any real amount of time then you would in theory bleed blue blood due to no oxygen, however i dont know about scabbing blue due to oxygen i think being involved in the process of scabbing however i am not sure.

I've actually heard a scientist say that this is not true. It just appears blue through your skin because of the color of your skin and veins blending in with the blood. If you were looking directly at the blood, instead of seeing it through everything else, it would be red. Kinda like that whole "yellow and blue make green" thing.

If you are a Snail or something, it's completeiy right!
Mollusks and Arthropods and some other invertebrates have blue blood because they have hemocyanin instead of our hemoglobin. but hemoglobin , makes our blood red. In the veins and anywhere else.
And how are you able to cut yourself in the space when you are not wearing special astronaut clothes ?

Some Crusteceans have blue blood, like lobsters
Human blood is always red, it is either a dark brown red (when Depleted of oxygen) or Bright Crimson when oxygenated

The veins and arteries may be blue but the blood in them is most definitely red. Arterial blood which is oxygenated is a bright red and venal blood is a deeper red as it has used up all of the oxygen.

If you are is space - and still alive - then you are in a controlled environment with air quality similar to that of Earth. If you are out in the netherworld of space, then you would have much more to worry about than a little cut - you would probably explode...

if you cut yourself in space it would not scab over.
Our atmosphere produces 15 pounds per square inch of pressure going in as well as out constantly.
should you be exposed to the vacuum of space you would turn inside out like a bomb going off.

No no no, there is no such thing as blood is blue! bloods' always red. When blood is blue, it shows that the blood is deoxygenated and when blood is red, it is oxygenated. I think you see it on a textbook right? So blood is red when you cut yourself in space.

deoxygenated venous blood is just a darker red than oxygenated blood. So if you bled in space, it would be the darker red and instantly vapourise. But you would not bleed to death, just disintegrate.

Of course blood is red in the veins, just hold ur hand up to the sun and you'll see the red blood through ur skin.
