an answer to a question i have also wondered, how would a human body react to open outer space? i didnt think you would explode but rather implode, but thats not the answer they gave.

who didn't ask himself for how long a man can survive into open space?

Wow, I always thought you'd explode into a million little chunks of ice when exposed to space. This article on NASA's website says differently.

"How would the unprotected human body react to the vacuum of outer space? Would it inflate to bursting? or would it not? or would just the interior gases hyperinflate? We are also relating this to short-term exposure only. This question primarily relates to the pressure differential problems. Temperature or radiation considerations would be interesting as well."

Ice cube or pink mist? NASA answers the burning question.

not that I would try it,but you think the situation could be duplicated with a vacume cleaner and a large plastic bag?
