It is now pretty much accepted that it takes time for the blood to do nasty things in the extreme cold and vacuum of space and that it is possible to pull the maneuver in 2001: A Space Odessy where a guy ejected from a capsule into an open entry port and slammed the hatch behind him and recharged the port. Tens of seconds, probably still under a minute, with some damage to eyes, lungs, etc. the longer it lasts.

The principal functions of a spacesuit are to create a pressurized, oxygenated atmosphere for astronauts, and to protect them from ultraviolet rays and extreme temperatures. Without it, a spacewalker would asphyxiate from the lack of breathable air and suffer from ebullism, in which a reduction in pressure causes the boiling point of bodily fluids to decrease below the body's normal temperature. Since it takes a bit of time for these things to kill you, it's possible to make it through a very quick stint in outer space.

At most, an astronaut without a suit would last about 15 seconds before losing conciousness from lack of oxygen. (That's how long it would take the body to use up the oxygen left in the blood.) Of course, on Earth, you could hold your breath for several minutes without passing out. But that's not going to help in a vacuum. In fact, attempting to hold your breath is a sure way to a quick death. To make it for even a few seconds, This would cause oxygen to expand and rupture his lung tissue, forcing fatal air bubbles into his blood vessels, and ultimately his heart and brain. Scuba divers are also at risk for air embolism; they're instructed not to hold their breath as they ascend from the deep sea.

Without a space outfit means that there are no oxygne to survive. The respiration will be stopped and you will stop breathing without any oxygen.

You'd be absolutely, positively dead in 15 seconds, but you'd be horribly damaged and seriously hating life after about 1 second.

Blood would rush instantly to your head, you would have no oxygen, one side of you would burn alive, the other side would freeze in less than a second, if you survive that, then theres radiation!
